## About this tender

We are seeking bids from experts to perform the following services in relation to a simulation model based Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) of the introduction of locational pricing for transmission losses in the GB electricity market.

The expert will perform the following tasks:

- Work with the CMA to determine a base scenario and 3 to 4 additional scenarios for the CBA analysis (possibly based on National Grid’s 4 core power scenarios)
- Propose and implement a methodology to determine locational scenarios (all of plant, load and grid)
- Estimate transmission loss factors for each scenario
- Simulate the GB electricity system to determine economic costs of generation investment and production with and without charging for losses, possibly including 3 different loss-charging methodologies: averaged (as exists currently), locational with x/y split for generators/consumers (with 2 possible x/y scenarios)
- Provide results of net benefits for consumers and generators, including regional breakdowns and breakdowns by generator in a final report
- Present results to the CMA and possibly to an industry open forum
- Prepare all inputs and outputs for dissemination to other experts through the CMA web site
