Incentive Scheme

Demand forecasting incentive scheme

Four separate schemes, each±£1m

Wind forecast as this year, except by half hour rather

than by hour. Publish by 5 am for Day Ahead

Day Ahead Demand Forecast, publish by 9am

Two Day Ahead Demand Forecast, publish by 5pm

Seven Day Ahead Demand Forecast, publish by 5pm

25% of each scheme on forecast bias

Demand Forecasting Incentive Scheme

Incentives to publish forecasts for Cardinal Points

Demand Forecasting Incentive Scheme

Profit / Loss calculated for each cardinal point for each

horizon for each day

Cap / collar on each point and on each day

Targets set per cardinal point per quarter per horizon

Each target is mean absolute error over last three years

Bias component

25% of each scheme, ±£21k per incentive per month

Max reward if 50% positive and negative errors

Max loss if 70% of all errors have same sign

Max loss for whole month if 70% of errors for two

individual cardinal points have same sign

Max Reward

Max Loss

Percentage of Positive Errors

Impact

Incentives allow us to invest and innovate, which helps

us to forecast more accurately and efficiently, driving

errors down

More accurate and efficient forecasts will

reduce/stabilise BSUoS

Forecast publication

Forecasts will be sent out by email

To subscribe, email [email protected]

Forecasts and background information will be published

on National Grid’s website, under Data Explorer

http://www2.nationalgrid.com/UK/Industry-

data/Data-Explorer/
