Gate 2 Phase 1 offer schedule

We are preparing and issuing Gate 2 Phase 1 Variation Offers in batches as we receive the information we need from the National Energy System Operator, NESO.

Each batch contains projects connected to particular Grid Supply Points, or GSPs. The schedule below shows:

  • the current position of each batch
  • the GSPs included in each batch
  • when we expect an early view of the Transmission Owner Construction Offer, or TOCO, information
  • when we expect the Application to Vary, or AtV, information from NESO
  • when offers have been or are expected to be issued
  • when the customer acceptance period ends

These dates and batch groupings are our best current view and may change as NESO confirms further information.

Projects in the same batch may not all receive their offer on the same day. We will update this page when the schedule changes and contact customers directly when their individual offer is ready.

The batch schedule has changed

Please check your GSP again, even if you have viewed this page before. Some offer dates have changed and Batch 10 has been split into Batches 10 and 11. The cards below show the current position, revised offer timing and customer acceptance deadline for each batch.
