2009 National Winter Group

Introduction

The System Operator is the convener of an industry participant group that is established to determine possible power system issues during the winter season.

The National Winter Group has three sub groups, these all have representation from a cross section of industry participants. The sub groups are:

• demand forecasting
• generation availability
• short term mitigation options

Intent of the NWG

The intent of the National Winter Group (NWG) is to:

• develop an agreed industry participant view of likely demand & generation so as to provide a common view on issues and risks for the winter season
• identify appropriate measures that could be implemented to mitigate risks
