Frequency Risk and Control Report (FRCR)

The Frequency Risk and Control Report includes an assessment of the magnitude, duration and likelihood of transient frequency deviations, forecast impact and the cost of securing the system and confirms which risks will or will not be secured operationally.

The requirement for a Frequency Risk and Control Report was introduced following the approval of Security and Quality of Supply Standards (SQSS) modification GSR027. The first version of the report was submitted to Ofgem on 1 April 2021 and approved on 12 May 2021.

The FRCR is produced at least once annually and is consulted on with industry and reviewed by the SQSS Panel ahead of submission to Ofgem.

We are currently consulting on the 2025 version of the Frequency Risk and Control Report between 3 March 2025 and 31 March 2025. 

You can return the Consultation Response Proforma to [email protected] or complete the Online Response Form by 5pm on Monday 31st March 2025.

We will also hold a webinar on Wednesday 19 March 13:00-14:00 to provide further insight into the proposal and take any initial feedback on the proposals ahead of the consultation period closing.
