Prequalification Overview

Prequalification required to “verify” that potential

sources of capacity are genuine physical resources

Three key considerations for an Application:

1. Applicant must be either the Legal Owner of the asset

or its Despatch Controller (with agreement from the

Legal Owner)

2. Accompanied by declarations signed by two directors

or officers of the Applicant

3. Submitted by the end of the Prequalification Window

(via the EMR portal) by 17:00 on Friday 26 August

5

Prequalification Process

Prequalification

process is user

driven

System is designed

to guide parties

through the process

We can answer

queries about the

prequalification portal

We can’t give

“advice” about how a

project should be

presented into

prequalification

No contact with us

during the

assessment window

6 6 MM…TS

Register a Company

Via the portal and

click on “Capacity

Market”

Scroll to the

Registration link and

click it

Follow the on-screen

instructions to

complete the

Registration form

Subscribing to the portal does not mean you have registered!

user guide 7 TS

Register a company

High Level Principles

All Companies will need to

register

Other “company users” may be

added to the portal

Companies previously

registered will not need to re-

register

A single Registration allows

applications for all three

auctions

Audit Trail – anything that

happens is traceable

NG cross-checks company

details against public record

Each Company needs to

nominate at minimum;

Company Secretary/Director

(Authorised Person) –

somebody recognisable in

the public domain

Proposed “Main Administrator”

– somebody who will fill in

the application

Copy of registration form must

be printed on company letter

head and signed by a director

or company secretary

All log-ins are password and

PIN protected - important that

email and mobile numbers are

accurate to issue passwords

and PINs

8 TS

Set up users

The Main Administrator can register additional users to log-in to their

Company's area of the Admin System and carry out specific roles

Each of these users must be given "privileges" to carry out specific roles

for the Main Company or any Sub-Company.

Quick Link: EMR Company Registration and User Management user guide

Adding details to a company

Basic company information created through a company registration

process

Upload the following where it is required

A copy of the company’s Certificate of Incorporation

Prequalification Certificate

Certificate of Conduct

If the Applicant is part of a Group – the name of its direct Holding

Company – this is not provided in the system – PLEASE DETAIL
