Consultation
Currently, a consumer who has a large discrete load (“LDL”), i.e. with a peak demand (“PD”) for electricity of 25.5 MW (30 MVA based on a power factor of 0.85) 1 or more, is required to connect at the transmission voltage level of 66kV or above. Traditionally, LDLs have typically taken around 3-4 years to become operational. This provides adequate lead time to plan and augment the power system to ensure sufficient power generation capacity as well as grid capacity to serve the LDL. However, in recent years, we have seen the rapid growth of LDLs in highly energy-intensive sectors such as data centres that can ramp up very quickly in less than 3-4 years. The Transmission Agent Licensee,viz.SP PowerGrid Ltd (“SPPG”), will continue to administer the connection of the LDLs to the power grid and ensure adequacy of grid capacity to serve them. In addition to this, a framework is needed to facilitate orderly ramp up of LDLs so as to ensure that there will be sufficient generation capacity to serve their peak demand (“LDLF ramework”).
EMA would like to invite written comments on the proposed LDL Framework as set out in the consultation paper, as well as any response to the list of questions provided in Appendix 2. Where applicable, please provide justifications, data and explanations to support your comments/responses.
