Prospective CMUs (New Build & Refurbishing
CMUs) have obligations relating to the progress of their project delivery
before they are commissioned and operational. These obligations ensure that the
project will be ready to deliver for the relevant Delivery Year to which their Capacity Agreement relates and for the
duration of that Agreement. | Existing CMUs are sites that are already
established, commissioned and operational. Existing CMUs are required to ensure
that they can deliver during the relevant Delivery Year to which their Capacity
Agreement relates. | Demand side response (DSR) CMUs are categorised into proven and unproven depending on the status of the unit at the
time they prequalify. A proven DSR has an obligation to ensure that they can
deliver during the relevant Delivery Year to which their capacity agreement
relates. An unproven DSR has the same
obligation but must first complete a test to confirm that it is operational. |
