2 On March 26, 2024, revisions were made to Decree No. 77 (dated August 30, 2006), issued by the Minister of Energy of Georgia, titled "Approval of the Electricity (Capacity) Market Rules." These revisions specifically pertain to the regulations and protocols of the registration process for direct electricity contracts. Registering direct contracts involves submitting the contract application form based on a direct contract between the dispatch licensee and the Electricity Market Operator, as well as the registration of contracts and applications for concluding a contract, provided for in Article 8 and Article 91 of these Rules, in the relevant registration journals. This process may also be done electronically. A registration number is then assigned to them. Direct contracts must be submitted simultaneously for registration to both the Electricity Market Operator and the dispatch licensee. The compulsory registration of direct contracts is conducted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article 9 of "The Electricity (Capacity) Market Rules." These amendments shall become effective on April 1, 2024.

Despite the efforts from the UK energy regulator to bridge the gap between the current connections offer process and the implementation of connections with "Transitional Offers". This is a complex process, bureaucratic and without transparency. This type of complexity can only be overcome by decentralized mechanisms associated with automated processes(like Smart Contracts) based on a mathematical proof of transparency for the transactions executed (Consensus algorithms). A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) is one the mechanisms that are able to deal with this type of distributed decision-making. Continuing to insist on bureaucratique centralized based systems is a complete waste of money and worse, is a waste of good people that could be used elsewhere in the grid.

A concerning risk of widespread HV cable faults is looming in all new Australian energy infrastructure projects, which begs the question, is your organisation adequately prepared to avoid potential catastrophic cable failures? To avoid operational setbacks, delve into this case study by Ron Scollay of Machinemonitor Pty Ltd and learn: • How early detection and testing can help avert a crisis • What sort of pre-commissioning assessment should be done • How to ensure regulatory compliance • How this approach can enhance project reliability and safety To access the full case study, click here: https://hubs.la/Q02v-7w30

But we also need to make sure that changes are practical and don't create equity issues where consumers have to pay for new businesses to get connected to the network. It's an important balance and we need to get this right.    Submissions were originally due on 6 December. Electricity Networks Aotearoa and the Electricity Engineers' Association of New Zealand jointly requested an extension to these deadlines given the complexity and potential implications of the consultations. We’re pleased to say that submissions have been extended and are now due by 20 Dec. Ngā mihi nui Electricity Authority Te Mana Hiko. 🙏   We're engaging heavily with the sector about this. If you have any views on these consultations that you think the ENA should hear, please get in touch with us by emailing info@electricity.org.nz.

In a pivotal time for the energy sector, we look forward to the release of the draft DPP4 decision on 29 May 2024 and to hear from the Commissioner and the team at the Commerce Commission.

Following public consultation with industry players, ANRE published a revised draft order for the approval of the methodology for electricity capacity allocation based on public tenders. As previously mentioned, this methodology represents a total market transformation as it is envisaged to allow electricity capacity allocation for production capacities based on public tenders, as opposed to the current first came, first served rule.

Public tender for connection permits. The second draft is not significantly different from the first. There still seem to be many loose ends both from a legal as well as a practical perspective. Cannot wait to see how the DSOs will manage to prepare appropiate studies, especially if they need to take into consideration all valid connection permits although many of the related projects will never see the light of day.

We are thrilled that FERC said NO to PJM's proposal to give even more power to transmission companies. Here's our statement: "We commend the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for rejecting this anti-consumer proposal by PJM and the Transmission Owners, which would have given large corporations with a profit motive far too much power and secrecy in transmission planning....We’re glad FERC saw through PJM and the Transmission Owners’ power grab."
