TenneT's Connection And Transportation Obligation Involving An Interconnector

Parties who have a dispute with the system operator on how the system operator exercises its duties and powers under the Electricity Act 1998 ("E-Act") can submit such a dispute to the Authority for Consumers and Markets ("ACM"). In this blog post, we discuss such a ruling by the ACM.

The Frontier Power / Liander case

Frontier Power International Limited ("Frontier Power") is a UK-based entity that intends to develop an interconnector between the UK and the Netherlands, the NU-link. For this reason, in June 2022 Frontier Power requested TenneT TSO B.V. ("TenneT") to connect NU-link to the Dutch transmission system with a transmission capacity of 1.2 to 1.4 gigawatts by 2031. While doing so, Frontier Power did not request to be connected to a specific location.
