Background
2020 Electricity Capacity Report - EMR Delivery Body
Background – ECR Content
Electricity Capacity Report (ECR) published on 14 th July includes:
❖ Auction target recommendations:
   ❖ 2021/22 T-1 and 2024/25 T-4
❖ Auction de-rating factors:
   ❖ Conventional plant, limited duration storage and intermittent renewable capacity
❖ Modelled de-rating factor ranges for interconnected countries

The Secretary of State determines:
❖   Whether to hold the auctions
❖   The capacity to secure in each auction and, in the case of the T-4 auction, the amount to hold back for T-1
❖   The auction parameters including the demand curve
❖   Individual interconnector de-ratings for use in the CM auctions

BEIS Panel of Technical Experts (PTE):
❖ Scrutinise our modelling
❖ Report published on 14th July
Potential impact of COVID-19 pandemic
The demand and supply assumptions used to inform our recommendations do not take into
account any potential impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. We are currently reviewing this, and it
may lead to a change to our recommendations when we undertake the Adjustment to the Demand
Curve after prequalification.
❖ The demand and supply assumptions in our modelling are based on the 2020 Future Energy Scenarios (FES), which
  were largely finalised when the pandemic arose
❖ National Grid ESO are currently reviewing how the COVID-19 pandemic could change our assumptions and whether
  this would have an impact on our recommendations in the 2020 ECR
❖ We have an opportunity to reflect any new information that may impact our ECR recommendations when we undertake
  the Adjustment to the Demand Curve after prequalification – this adjustment is already established in the capacity
  market process
❖ Any revisions to our assumptions will be discussed with BEIS, Ofgem and the PTE by September 2020 to allow for
  sufficient scrutiny ahead of applying any adjustments to the demand curve
❖ Should any adjustment be made, we will provide details relating to the changes in our demand and supply assumptions
  in the published Adjustment to the Demand Curve report, including the reasons behind any changes

Opportunity to get involved: please contact the FES team by email at: FES@nationalgrideso.com if you would like to
contribute views or evidence that we can consider in reviewing the impact of COVID -19.

Interconnection EFC
                                                                       Example GB interconnection flow distributions
❖ The DDM combines probability distributions for conventional          (illustrative only - uses fictional data)
  generation, wind generation and underlying demand to give a
  net GB margin distribution over the winter peak period
❖ The DDM models the contribution of the GB interconnection
  fleet at peak using distributions defining the probability of each
  import / export level for a given level of net GB margin
❖ These interconnection distributions are combined with the net
  GB margin distribution to give a net system margin distribution
❖ This distribution is used to calculate the interconnection
  Equivalent Firm Capacity (EFC) – defined as the level of 100%
  reliable (firm) plant that could replace the interconnection fleet
  and provide the same reliability level of 3 hours LOLE
❖ The interconnection EFC does not significantly impact the de-
  rated capacity requirement for the T-4 year
❖ For the T-1 year, the interconnection EFC could potentially have
  an impact if the EFC calculated by the DDM is significantly
  lower than the interconnection de-rated capacity awarded CM
  agreements in the T-4 auction for that year.
❖ This could be a potential topic for a future development project
Key Factors Affecting Our Modelling
❖ Key factors increasing CM-eligible capacity required to meet Reliability Standard in a scenario / sensitivity include:
   ❖ An increase in ACS Underlying Peak Demand or Reserve for Largest Infeed Loss
   ❖ Assumed non-delivery in the scenario / sensitivity
   ❖ A reduction in de-rated capacity not eligible (e.g. RO/CFD/FIT- supported, & already awarded agreement for target year)

❖ Key factors decreasing CM-eligible capacity required to meet Reliability Standard in a scenario / sensitivity include:
   ❖ A reduction in ACS Peak Demand or Reserve for Largest Infeed Loss
   ❖ Assumed over-delivery in the scenario / sensitivity
   ❖ An increase in de-rated capacity not eligible (e.g. RO/CFD/FIT- supported & already awarded agreement for target year)

❖ Factors that do not significantly affect the CM-eligible capacity required in a scenario / sensitivity include:
    ❖ Assumptions around which CM-eligible capacity is available to participate in the auction
    ❖ For the T-4 year, assumptions around the contribution of interconnection
    ❖ Demand side response (DSR) assumptions

❖ The overall recommended target capacity is dependent on the outcome of the LWR calculation is influenced by:
    ❖ The scenarios / sensitivities that the define the bottom and top of the range in capacity requirement values (the LWR
       outcome is usually around 60% to 70% of the way between the bottom and top value)
    ❖ The Value of Lost Load (VoLL) and net CONE (Cost of New Entry) decided by the Secretary of State
Target capacity for 2021/22 T-1 auction
2021/22 T-1 summary
Our recommendation on the target capacity for the 2021/22 T-1 auction is 0 GW. The Secretary of State
decided to hold a T-1 auction with a target capacity of 0.4 GW. This decision is consistent with
legislation to hold an auction for at least half the amount set aside and also reflects other uncertainties
❖ Outcome of the least worst regret calculation was -1.2 GW, but as this is negative, our recommendation is 0 GW
❖ The range of the least worst regret calculation is set by two scenarios in FES 2020. This means that the decisions
  on the maximum level of over- and non-delivery to include in the sensitivities had minimal impact on the outcome
❖ Our recommendation covers 21 out of 24 cases modelled
❖ The negative requirement has resulted from a number of changes since the decision by the Secretary of State to
  hold back 0.4 GW for the 2021/22 T-1 auction. Changes contributing to the negative requirement include:
   ❖ reduction in peak demand forecast of 3.5 GW
   ❖ procuring 0.9 GW extra capacity in the 2021/22 T-4 auction due to low clearing price
   ❖ increase of around 1.3 GW in non-CM renewable capacity, meaning we need to secure less capacity
       through the CM
   Note: the decision to only hold back 0.4 GW means that any one of these changes on their own would be
   sufficient to reduce the T-1 requirement to zero.
❖ Prequalification and COVID-19 revisions may impact final target for T-1 auction

How the 2021/22 T-1 requirement has changed
2024/25 T-4 capacity recommendation
2024/25 T-4 summary
Our recommendation on the target capacity for the 2024/25 T-4 auction is 41.6 GW. The Secretary
of State has accepted our recommendation and will hold back 0.4 GW for the T-1 auction giving a
target capacity of 41.2 GW for the T-4 auction
❖ Recommendation (41.6 GW) is derived from nearest Base Case sensitivity (800 MW Non-delivery) to LWR outcome
  (41.7 GW for Consumer Transformation scenario)
❖ The range of the least worst regret calculation is set by two scenarios in FES 2020. This means that the decisions on the
  maximum level of over- and non-delivery to include in the sensitivities had minimal impact on the outcome
❖ Our recommendation covers 14 out of 21 cases
❖ Our recommendation of 41.6 GW is 3.1 GW lower than our recommendation for the recent 2023/24 T-4 capacity market
  auction. This is mainly due:
    ❖ 1.7 GW multi-year agreements being awarded in the recent 2022/23 T-3 and 2023/24 T-4 auctions
    ❖ reduction in peak demand forecast of 1.4 GW compared to the 2019 Base Case
❖ Prequalification and COVID-19 revisions may impact final target for T-4 auction

How the 2024/25 T-4 compares to 2023/24
15-year view
  ❖ Shows range in modelled CM-eligible
    capacity requirement over 15 years
  ❖ Shows total requirement in each year
    – does not split this by auction(1)
  ❖ First 3 years come from 2021/22 runs
    and rest from 2024/25 model runs
  ❖ Shows the ongoing requirement for
    CM-eligible capacity over period
  ❖ New capacity built in early years still
    required as coal / nuclear plants close
  ❖ CT and SP requirement increases
  ❖ ST and LW requirement stable across
    most years . Fall for ST in later years
  ❖ Increase when support for biomass
    conversion ends in 2027/28
  ❖ Drop in RO / CFD supported wind
    increases requirement in later years
                                                           See Section 3.11 in the 2020 ECR for more details

de-rating factors
De-rating factors for conventional plant
         ❖ De-rating factors for conventional stations are based on the methodology set out in the Capacity Market Rules
         ❖ There is a change to the de-rating factor for Oil due to a lack of historical data (the last oil plant closed in 2014/15). We
           recommended using the same de-rating factor as OCGT (1)
         ❖ Drop in DSR is driven by lower availability in winter 2019/20 and confirmed with market participants
         ❖ We are intending to carry out a development project to review how we calculate de-rating factors for embedded generation
           when the embedded capacity data is provided via DCUSA DCP350
         ❖ In the meantime we continue to welcome views and can be contacted via email at emrmodelling@nationalgrid.com

                                                                                                                                                                 See Section 4.1 and Table 15 in the
                                                                                                                                                                 2020 ECR for more details

(1) The methodology prescribes that the de-rating factor is based on availability during the winter peak period over the last 7 years. However as the last oil
plant closed in 2014/15, this only includes 2 years of historic data, so we recommend assigning the de-rating factor used for OCGT
De-rating factors for limited duration storage
          ❖    The methodology to determine de-rating factors for limited duration storage is unchanged since last year
          ❖    Full details on the methodology can be found in our final consultation report published in December 2017 (1)
          ❖    De-rating factors reflect the capability of storage to deliver for the potential duration of a stress period
          ❖    Storage assets with longer duration have higher de-rating factors.De-rating factors for T-1 year similar to 2019 ECR.
          ❖    De-rating factors for T-4 year are higher than 2019 due to lower storage capacity in 2020 Base Case
          ❖    Threshold for “duration-limited” storage is 5 hours for both T-1 and T-4 years (it was 5.5 hours for T-4 year in 2019 ECR)

                                                                                                                                             See Section 4.1 and Table 16 in the

De-rating factors for renewables
       ❖ The methodology to determine de-rating factors for renewables is unchanged since last year
       ❖ Full details on the methodology can be found in our final consultation report published in February 2019 (1)
       ❖ As renewable capacity has access to other forms of support, capacity market de-rating factors use the incremental
         equivalent firm capacity (EFC) to reflect the additional contribution to security of supply from projects delivered through
         the capacity market
       ❖ The incremental EFC is lower than the average EFC of the fleet, which will reflect the contribution to security of supply
         from wind and solar delivered through the capacity market and other support schemes (e.g. Contracts for Difference)
       ❖ Small change in wind incremental EFCs compared to 2019 ECR reflect changes in wind capacity in T-1 / T-4 years
       ❖ Solar PV incremental EFC changes since 2019 ECR reflect lower storage capacity and change in solar PV capacity

                                                                                                       See Chapter 4.1 and Table 17 in the

Feedback on de-rating methodology
National Grid ESO continues to welcome comments and questions on our approaches either through email
(emrmodelling@nationalgrid.com), industry forums or bilateral meetings.
❖ We would particularly appreciate any feedback on our developing work on constrained hybrid sites (described in
  Section 2.5.2 of the 2020 ECR) and how we calculate de-rating factors for distribution-connected generation.
❖ In our current methodology, conventional plant de-rating factors are calculated using the availability of transmission-
  connected units during the winter peak period.
❖ These de-rating factors are also assigned to distribution-connected generation for the relevant technology type as we
  do not have access to data to calculate de-rating factors for distributed generation directly.
❖ In recent years, National Grid ESO has taken steps to obtain better data and improve our modelling of distributed
  generation.
❖ We have already procured metered hourly generation output data from Electralink.
❖ However, this does not provide information on the asset. We have therefore been supporting a Change Proposal to the
  Distribution Connection and Use of System Agreement (DCUSA) to create a register of embedded assets.
❖ This modification is referred to as DCP 350 was approved on 1 July 2020. Further information can be found on the
  DCUSA website.
❖ We expect this data to become available soon and we are intending to review how we could use it with the Electralink
  data to directly calculate de-rating factors for distributed generation.
❖ Any changes to de-rating factor methodologies will be subject to industry consultation.
