The IGT UNC Modification Panel (the Panel) usually meets once a month on the fourth Friday of the month. The Panel is currently facing quoracy issues due to the appointment of only one Pipeline User Representative. The IGT UNC provisions for such an eventuality as to not disrupt Panel business, however, these meetings do not apply quoracy rules. It is, therefore, the current situation that Pipeline Operators have three votes at Panel and Pipeline Users have one. We urge any Pipeline User (Shipper) Representative who is interested in becoming a Panel member to contact the Code Administrator here.
The Panel is currently composed of:
- The Panel Chairperson (non-voting member)
- Up to three IGT UNC Operator Representatives (voting members)
- Up to three IGT UNC User Representatives (voting members)
- Ofgem, Representing the Authority (non-voting member)
The following non-voting members may also be invited to attend by the Panel for a particular meeting or on a standing basis:
- A Consumer Representative
- A Suppliers Representative
- A Large Transporter Representative
Personnel from Talan will also attend meetings of the Panel to perform the role of Code Administrator (as appointed by the IGTs) and to provide secretarial services to the Panel.
