21st January: Events
� Norwegian Supply loss at Langeled (approx 25mcm EoD)
� The forecast increase in flows at IoG to cover this supply loss combined with an already heavy system and high Bacton flows cause a concern over a potential constraint at Bacton.
� Firm capacity release restricted at Bacton ASEP & Interruptible capacity scaled back
� 11:00 Interruptible capacity restored & firm capacity released
