Capacity Market Code Modification – Working Group 10 Timetable The Capacity Market Code (CMC) sets out the arrangements whereby market participants can qualify for and participate in Capacity Auctions. As a result of the daily operation of the SEM the CMC is regularly reviewed and modifications can be made to ensure the Code Objectives are achieved. These objectives are set out in section A.1.2.1 of the code and include, but are not limited to, ensuring there is transparency in the operation of the SEM, ensuring there is no undue discrimination and to ensure the promotion of the short-term and long-term interests of consumers of electricity with respect to price. Section B.12 of the CMC sets out the Modifications process and contains details in regards to submitting a proposal, the process of discussing proposals through Working Groups and the consultation and decisions process.
