Dear Capacity Market Participants,

In respect of the 2027/2028 T-4 Capacity Auction, the following relates to a backup process to submit offers in the instance where a Participant cannot submit an offer through the Capacity Market Platform. The Capacity Market Platform is currently operating as normal and all offers should continue to be submitted through this channel up to the Capacity Auction Submission End on 26thOctober 2023 at 10:00am.

In the event that a Participant is experiencing issues submitting their offers through the Capacity Market platform ahead of the Capacity Auction Submission End, the following Manual Offer Submissions documentation is available on the SEMO website: 

Participants are reminded that the Manual Offer Submission process should be exercised only in an instance where a communication failure has occurred and not as a 'business as usual' process. 

Manual Offer Submissions - Party Administrator Users (PAUs)

If you do need to use the Manual Offer Submission process, the PAU will have to be available to confirm their Authentication Code via telephone when contacted by the System Operators. If confirmation is not possible, the Offer will not be accepted by the System Operators. We suggest you nominate at least two PAUs for your organisation for Capacity Market.

To confirm any of the details above, please:

1.       Refer to the PAU within your organisation.

2.       Ensure a PAU form was submitted as part of registration signed by a Director.

3.       Check the Authentication Code is populated.

4.       Check the telephone contact details are correct.

5.       Ensure the PAU has access to the Authentication Code if required for the Manual Offer Submission Process.

6.       If no Authentication Code is on the form submitted, resubmit a new form as soon as possible named C02 Capacity Market - Party Administrative User (PAU) Authorisation. 

Manual Offer Submissions should reach us no later than 7am on Thursday 26th October 2023. This is the latest time by which Participants can request the System Operators to make Manual Offer Submissions to take effect in the 2027/2028 T-4 Capacity Auction. Any requests after this time will be processed by the System Operator on a best endeavours basis. 

If you have any questions on the above or should you require any assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Capacity Market Team
