DRC Generator Portal
The Data Registration Code (DRC) Generator portal is a platform designed to allow Generator Users to submit their DRC data as part of their connection and enduring compliance under the Grid Code. This data allows NESO to accurately model the response of assets as part of NESO's responsibility to ensure Security and Quality of Supply. Additionally, the DRC Generator portal captures the ownership/contact information related to the assets.
The DRC presents a unified listing of all data required by NESO from users (including Restoration Contractors where they are not a user) and by users (including Restoration Contractors where they are not a user) from NESO, from time to time under the Grid Code. The data which is specified in each section of the Grid Code is collated here in the DRC portal.
Where there is any inconsistency in the data requirements under any particular section of the Grid Code and the DRC the provisions of the particular section of the Grid Code shall prevail. NESO will endeavour to ensure any Grid Code changes that affect the DRC (and therefore the DRC Generator portal) are reflected in the DRC Portal.
