Betta get it right
A single electricity market for the whole of Britain took a step closer after National Grid was appointed GB System Operator under the British Electricity Trading and Transmission Arrangements (Betta).
The electricity market in Scotland operates under different arrangements from those in England and Wales. Under Betta, the England and Wales trading arrangements will be extended to Scotland, creating a single wholesale electricity market.
The transition from the existing to the new arrangements will be phased in, with April 2005 the completion date.
