Improving access to thermal fuel information

Thanks to all those who engaged with our consultation to improve the collection and publication of information on the availability of thermal fuels.

Information about the thermal fuel availability is critical for understanding security of supply risks.

The proposed notice under clause 2.16 of the Electricity Industry Participation Code will provide the Authority, and the market, with more information on availability of thermal fuels (gas, solid fuels and diesel) for electricity generation.

There is an absence of systematic and timely data about thermal fuel availability, which inhibits the ability of the Authority to undertake its functions and for market participants to make fully informed risk management decisions. This project aims to improve the collection and publication of information on the availability of thermal fuels.
