ER P2/6 – Security of Supply

P2/6 (ie the present version of P2) was introduced in July 2006; however its basic content is largely unchanged from P2/5 which was introduced in October 1978.

Society and the industry have changed substantially since 1978 and it is timely to review P2, to determine if there is a need for such a standard, and if so what form a modern standard should take.

Please find here a letter from the Chairman of the GB Distribution Code Review Panel. The letter sets out the views of the network licensees in relation to the future of the document ER P2/6 “Security of Supply” and invites responses from stakeholders on any aspect of the proposed work in particular on the assumptions etc contained within the annex to the letter.

A DCRP Working Group has now commenced work revising Engineering Recommendation P2. Details of the Work Group meetings, agendas and papers will be posted to this site once confirmed by the Working Group.
