To govern the relationship between the transmission owner
and the HTSO, so as to ensure that the HTSO is able

inter-connected system.
1. the HTSO
2. the transmission owner (PPC’s TBU)

The key elements of the agreement that has been drafted are those designed to ensure that
the HTSO has the necessary degree of control, and that it can ensure effective development,
maintenance, and physical operation of the inter-connected system. It is important to note
that the TCA does not cover any transmission assets not forming part of the inter-connected
system.
3.2.2. Transmission Connection Agreement
These connection agreements will be required in all cases where a party is connected to the
transmission system, and Table 3.2 summarises the main elements of the proposed model.
Broadly similar terms would apply whether the connected party is a generator or a load.
