In July 2017 we published a consultation paper about the system operator’s proposed changes to their policy statement. The policy statement sets out the policies and means by which the system operator will fulfil some of its core functions, like security and dispatch, and important associated policies, like compliance and conflicts of interest.

After consulting on proposed amendments to the policy statement, we have incorporated a replacement policy statement into the Code.

We have summarised the submissions and cross-submission we received and explained the decision to approve the replacement of the policy statement.
