Panel of Technical Experts - Electricity Market Reform
Authority: DESNZ & DSIT Group Commercial·Consortium: 5 public authorities
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Panel of Technical Experts (PTE) is an independent advisory group, members of which are appointed by government to advise on technical aspects of Electricity Market Reform. The role of the panel is a technical function and not a forum for policy commentary or for advising the government on its objectives for the capacity market or wider policy issues. They have a particular focus on providing scrutiny of the analysis in National Grid’s annual Electricity Capacity Report (ECR), which provides a recommendation on the target capacity for capacity market auctions. A report with their findings is published annually following the publication of the ECR and the Secretary of State’s decision on the target capacity.

- Price carries 100 of 200 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
