High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Network Code
Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1447 established a network code on connecting HVDC systems and DCC power park modules to the grid.
What is this Network Code?
The HVDC Network Code is one of three connection codes which form part of the European Network Codes. It facilitates the integration of HVDC connections to the grid, including DC-connected Power Park Modules. HVDC came into force on 15 September 2016.
As part of its implementation, we had to submit a proposal for requirements to apply it in Northern Ireland.
Proposals and consultations
Consultations are held before the submission of proposed new local, regional and European rules. Below shows local consultations in Northern Ireland on the HVDC Network Code. For European and regional consultations, visit the ENTSO-E consultation hub.
