Dear Brian,
Re: Operation of Carrickfergus AGI
Thank you for your response on 20 May 2021 to our request for further information following
your correspondence on 4 March 2021 seeking approval of project budget of £241,017. We
note that the costs have slightly changed to £240,890.
We consider this request to be Unforeseen Operating Expenditure under condition 2.2.4(j) of
the GNI (UK) conveyance licence. In the Final Determination for GT17

, we outlined a process
for how such unforeseen expenditure would be determined and approved and stated that any
expenditure must be genuinely unforeseen

.
Step 1 – Project deliverables to be agreed with UR
Step 2 – Estimated cost requirement to deliver agreed project submitted to UR for
consideration
Step 3 – UR determines the allowance to be recovered through the postalised
transmission tariff, and
Step 4 – Cost reporting, as necessary, to UR during project delivery phase
You have provided information on the project deliverables and estimated cost requirements,
shown in the table below which has been extracted from your email of 20 May 2021. We
