Immediate issue - QSEC

• National Grid NTS believes that the September
  QSEC should be run as planned.
• However we have evaluated a number of options and
  would like User input on these.
• The intention at present is that the auction
  invitation will be issued on or about the 16
  August.
• Therefore any action to change this timing needs
  to be undertaken imminently.
