6 I-SEM Project Milestones Status Update

7 Current Progress on Milestones 5 milestones have been completed since 21 Feb 18 PMG: TSOs #174c Central Systems Ready to Complete Market Trial RAs #139 Publication of I-SEM Charges/Tariffs ICOs #198 FTR Auction Trial, Training & Participant Test period end #197 FTR Auction EWIC & Moyle service active with JAO #199 FTR Auction EWIC & Moyle live on JAO platform 7

8 Current Progress on Milestones The slides which follow detail: 2 milestones currently reported as being late (red); and 3 milestones currently reported as being at specific risk (amber) In each case, the impacts and mitigating actions are noted All other milestones are currently reported as being on track, noting that all are not without some risk Please refer to the latest I-SEM Status Report for more details, which is published weekly on the SEMO website 8

9 Slipped Milestones Currently Red (1) #9 BM Engine Certification Complete: As discussed at the 21 Feb. PMG, certification of the BM engine has been extended to 8 May, based upon the current plan for fixing defects in the QBOA software. Achieving this date remains dependent on the timing and quality of software releases, however, we now have increased confidence in this date given (a) the advanced stage of the defect fix work and (b) the recent successful loading & running of QBOA cases in the certification tool. 9

10 Slipped Milestones Currently Red (2) #109a Effective date of ROI Generator and Supplier Licences: In response to a request by a Licence Holder to the Minister in DCCAE, an Appeals Panel was established on 10 Nov 17. It has a maximum period of six months to reach its decision. 10

11 At Risk Milestones Currently Amber (1) #87 Market Trial Complete and #250 Go Live: The status of these two dependent Milestones is shown as amber, given the increased levels of risk being carried in the central programme concerning defect fixes; the impact on participants own test plans given the more condensed period of unscripted trialling without material system defects; and other readiness concerns reported by Market Participants via the Market Readiness Assessment, and at the PMG. 11

12 At Risk Milestones Currently Amber (2) #52 FTR Auction Commences: This milestone has been marked at risk as we await the outcome of the I-SEM Steering Group s decision on approval of the FTR Auction Stage Gate. This decision will be communicated to participants in due course. 12

13 Forward Look at Upcoming Milestones The following 6 TSO Level 2 Milestones are due to be completed by the end of April 18: #7l I-SEM Technical Specification 8.0 #234b I-SEM Data Publication Guide - Issue 2.0 #215 MRC Approval #119 Finalisation of SEMOpx Procedures #216 Intraday Regional & Member Test complete #217 Day Ahead MRC, Regional & Member Test complete 13

14 Forward Look at Upcoming Milestones There are no RA Level 2 Milestones due to be completed by the end of April 18: 14

15 Forward Look at Upcoming Milestones The following ICO Level 2 Milestone is due to be completed by the end of April 18: #52 FTR Auctions commence 15

16 Change Requests Approved Approved since the last PMG: JCR_360: Modification to TSO Level 2 Milestone: #119 Finalisation of SEMOpx Operating Procedures JCR_361: Introduce a new TSO Level 2 Milestone: #139 Publication of I-SEM Charges/Tariffs 16

17 Day 2 Requests No Day 2 Requests have been approved since the last PMG, and none are currently in the pipeline for consideration The objective remains only to issue Day 2 Requests were absolutely essential to preserve the I-SEM Project timeline 17

18 Top Risks I (not in any particular order) Risk Mitigating Controls Trend Legislation/Licensing Delays: Risk that necessary legislation or licensing arrangements are not in place in time for Go-Live RAs on-going liaison with Departments Include relevant market readiness metrics against which to track and report progress Neutral Licence Appeal in Progress; Milestone #109a delayed. 18

19 Top Risks II Risk Mitigating Controls Trend BREXIT Impact: Risk that Government revisits I-SEM decision, or National Grid/Ofgem choose not to comply with the European Network Codes or not actively support the Target Model cross border arrangements, resulting in changes to scope, project delays, cost overruns, reduced quality, or potentially undermine I-SEM Ensure key decision makers are well informed about the benefits of market coupling Close liaison between RAs and Depts. Development of alternative models considering the impact of Brexit scenarios Neutral With the inaugural T-1 CM Auction run complete and Market Trial underway, the risk of a Brexit impact to golive is likely trending down. However, the risk of a longer-term impact on the I-SEM arrangements post go-live is likely continuing to trend up. 19

20 Top Risks III Risk Mitigating Controls Trend Central System Testing / Defect Fixing: Risk that completion of Rigorous management processes for tracking Level testing / defect fixing of the vendor deliverables central systems slips, resulting in Strong hands-on those systems not being available management oversight when needed to progress Market Trial. This may result from of vendors, with robust slippages in the delivery and contractual testing of the multitude of systems (e.g. due to vendor nonperformance), arrangements Fill in as many vendor introduction of shortfalls as possible by necessary changes, volume of taking on additional defects or because of the responsibilities/work complexity in bringing together all those systems in the limited time available Plan agreed with ABB for defect fixes required for go-live; two major releases planned for 3 & 22 April. To support delivery to this plan, we have strengthened our vendor on-site presence and will be testing defect fixes on an ongoing basis as they are completed by the vendor. The impact on participants own test plans given the more condensed period of unscripted trialling without material system defects, remains a concern. 20

21 Top Risks IV Risk Mitigating Controls Trend External Dependencies - Regional Coupling & Cross Zonal Arrangements: Risk that NGET, Ofgem, GB NEMOs &/or ICOs will not deliver key elements/decisions required in a timely fashion resulting in Project delays, cost overruns, or reduced quality. Joint Steering Committee (JSC) (TSOs, NEMOs & ICOs) in place. Joint Implementation Group (JIG) (RAs, TSOs, NEMOs & ICOs) in place. Put in place framework agreements between regional partners. Agree cost sharing arrangements. Down SEM-GB Regional Coupling activities continue to progress well. Going live with a single GB NEMO for the Intraday Auctions was agreed at JSC and JIG meetings in early March. 21

22 Top Risks V Risk Mitigating Controls Trend Participant Access to Clearing Member Readiness workstream Down Bank: Risk that the clearing model may cause a barrier to entry for market participants, especially smaller participants. has been established which will be an actioned forum where issues can be discussed between NEMO and ECC. The result may be that smaller ECC implementing a direct clearing participants may not be able to solution for market participants. enter the DA and ID markets, with flow on consequences for Participants have managed this risk market readiness. by aggregating through intermediaries In excess of thirty Members registered and the Direct Clearing solution having been established. At Feb PMG one Participant noted they did not have access to a clearing bank. Risk remains open. 22

23 Top Risks VI Risk Mitigating Controls Trend ABB s nmarket is not available to meet Project Timelines: Risk to progress of Market Trial, given the dependency of a large number of participants on ABB s nmarket Suite, in the event that the vendor s delivery plans slip. For individual participants to determine. Up? To be confirmed by participants. At the Feb meeting, participants noted that this risk is in part being realised, as ABB will not now deliver some of the nmarket functionality after go-live. However, view appeared to be that this would not stop those participants from going live. Current status to be confirmed by nmarket participants at the meeting. 23

24 Top Risks VII Risk Mitigating Controls Trend Participant Readiness: Risk that Market Participants are not ready Regular market readiness assessment reporting. Regular market participant engagement. Up? To be confirmed by participants Participants have previously advised that this risk was trending up, given compressed timelines to finalise system development and processes, a lack of clarity regarding retail tariffs, and uncertainty on whether participants would be able to make changes to their own systems following updates to the I-SEM Technical Specification and I-SEM Data Publication Guide. Whilst the compressed timeline remains a real challenge for all, there has been progress on these issues. Current status to be confirmed by participants at the meeting. 24

53 Issues Summary of Key Issues Participants have raised queries regarding the quality of the content of the BM Settlement Statements and Reports Balancing Market System is not sufficiently stable resulting in lack of availability. As a result, there are periods without schedules being developed and imbalance prices being delivered. The issues with QBOA are currently being addressed but until they are resolved, the settlement statements will not be of the required quality. Actions to Address the Issues Release programme presented on March 13 th. Releases currently in test will address defects in Settlement reports _043 and _045 and defects covered by CR15b. Later releases in early April will address a large number of CSB defects. Releases currently in test address up to 6 QBOA defects. Another 7 QBOA defects will be addressed in early April. A large number of Scheduling and Dispatch defects will be addressed in late April. 53
