GSR026: Adding Non- Standard Voltages to the SQSS

Following the rejection of modification GSR021 to the System Quality and Standards of Supply (SQSS) by Ofgem, this modification is being raised to seek modifications to the SQSS. A separate modification will be raised to modify the Grid Code. The modifications are looking to incorporate equipment at nominal voltages other than those that are currently used within the Codes. It is also proposed to align the SQSS with the Grid Code with the term ‘supergrid’ being referred to as a voltage over 200kV.
