In order to allow WPD to contain voltage within acceptable limits at the National Electricity Transmission System (NETS) / Distribution System interface, the Customer must ensure that the generators (>=1MW) have the capability to operate between 0.95 leading and 0.95 lagging power factor. Customers will be advised of the target Power Factor within this range. ------- National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) has instructed that WPD shall maintain a facility such that under emergency conditions on the National Electricity Transmission System (NETS), WPD shall have the ability to de-energise embedded generation (>=1MW) upon instruction from NGET. ------- WPD has previously submitted a Statement of Works (SoW) request to National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) for other generation schemes at Port Ham GSP. This process has highlighted that thermal generation and/or storage will be prevented from connection until further works are completed. The assessment of these further works may require WPD to make a new Project Progression application to NGET. ------- In order to allow WPD to contain voltage within acceptable limits at the National Electricity Transmission System (NETS) / Distribution System interface, the Customer must ensure that the generators (>=1MW) have the capability to operate between 0.95 leading and 0.95 lagging power factor.
