▤ Verbatim text from source document

We propose to:

  • introduce a new category of flexible gas generators called mid-merit
  • allow mid-merit to have longer hours providing they meet a set of criteria
  • incentivise the deployment of low oxides of nitrogen (NOx) flexible gas generation

This consultation is your opportunity to share insights, raise concerns or highlight unintended consequences that we may not have considered.
