Data Administration (SPP: 201):-

This Gridco document describes the Gridco internal procedure and responsibilities for receiving data from, and supplying data to Users as needed for system study work by either the Users or Gridco.

The objective of this internal procedure is to ensure that, where there is a requirement for planning data to be transferred from a User to Gridco or from Gridco to a User, it is carried out by the due date, that both the User and Gridco nominate a person (referred to as the Representative) to formally send or receive that data, and that the data is supplied in a format agreed by the User and Gridco. A User, in this context, is as defined by the Grid Code in Section 2.

The purpose of this procedure is also to define the working level contacts within both the Users and Gridco, so that detailed and informal discussions on data requirements can take place, and to provide an auditable record of the transfer of data.
