Supplier Capacity Market Demand Forecast
2018-06-01
Suppliers are required, under the Electricity Capacity (Supplier Payment etc.) Regulations 2014, to provide a forecast of their Gross Demand for the Period of High Demand (Peak Period) for the 2018/19 Delivery Year, by 1 June 2018. This forecast is used to calculate Suppliers’ monthly Capacity Market Supplier Charge and monthly Credit Cover requirements.
On 3 May 2018 EMRS, on behalf of Electricity Settlements Company (ESC), issued the forecast template for Suppliers to submit their demand forecast. A Supplier submits a forecast if they believe they will have Gross Demand within the Peak Period for the 2018/19 Delivery Year. If a Supplier believes they will not have Gross Demand for this period they should submit a zero forecast and explain why in the commentary.
EMRC156 provides information on:

What is included in the forecast template?
What format should my forecast be in?
What checks will EMRS carry out on submitted forecasts?
What are the key dates?
What are the escalation routes if forecasts aren’t submitted?

Stress Event Improvement Programme for 2020 - Metered Data Report implemented on the EMRS Portal
2020-05-13
EMRS has successfully implemented the new Metered Data Report on the EMRS Portal for Capacity Providers.
The new Metered Data Report contains the metered volumes provided to EMRS for each settlement date in the Delivery Year. Capacity Providers will be able to confirm if their data flows have been received and have visibility of the metered volumes submitted. This gives Capacity Providers an indication of the metered volumes to be used in the Stress Event calculations if required. This change forms part of the system improvements for the Stress Event programme of activities for this year.
EMRC210 was issued to confirm the new Metered Data Report has successfully been implemented and EMRC209 provides full details about the new Metered Data Report.
