2. GENERATION

2.1 Transmission
Access

Access to the GB Transmission System is provided through arrangements with NGET, acting
as GBSO, under the Connection and Use of System Code (CUSC). The CUSC has applied
across the whole of Great Britain since BETTA "go-live" (1 April 2005). Prior to BETTA "go-
live", the CUSC applied in England and Wales but different arrangements applied in Scotland.
The pre BETTA go-live generation offers and agreements between relevant TOs and Users
needed to be converted into GB Offers.

Standard Condition C18 of the Electricity Transmission Licence places certain obligations on
NGET as GBSO. The main requirements of C18 are to ensure that agreements with all
existing users are in place by the BETTA go-live date (1 April 2005), and that offers for
connection are made to all applicants in accordance with timescales specified in C18.
