Statement_of_Works text

Statement of Works text with reference to the Grid Supply Point.

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.
