Description

BEIS is looking for a member to play a key role in the Panel of Technical Experts (PTE) which involves monthly meetings and typically 0-5 days of work per month.

The PTE's task is to assist Government in setting targets for the Capacity Market auctions by scrutinising National Grid Delivery Body's analysis and recommendations to ensure that they are robust, up-to-date and transparent. It does not evaluate or advise on Government policies or objectives in this area. Its remit is to perform a technical scrutiny of the Delivery Body's analysis. This independent and impartial scrutiny provides additional confidence to Government, industry and the public that Government decisions are informed by robust analysis that is fit for purpose. The work of the PTE is to be transparent and the conclusions of the PTE will be published.
