Europe currently has three connection network codes: Requirements of generators (RfG), Demand Connection (DCC) and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC). RfG already entered into force on 17 May with the remaining two expected to be enforced end summer 2016.
The Member States have the obligation to implement these codes no later than three years after their entry into force. Within this timeframe the Member states have 2 years to define the national specifications for the so-called non-exhaustive requirements.
In order to support the implementation at national level and also in line with the legal requirements of these network codes ENTSO-E has drafted a set of 18 non-binding implementation guidance documents which we currently put forward for consultation. These guidance documents are addressed to the transmission system operators and other system operators concerning the elements of the codes requiring national decisions. They shall explain the technical issues, conditions and interdependencies which need to be considered when complying with the requirements of this Regulation at national level.
Considering that at this stage only RfG is enforced and that the other two codes are expected to follow in August/September ENTSO-E conducts the consultation of the IGDs in two steps as presented below. As such the IGD consultation is scheduled as follows:
