Model Bilateral Connection Agreement that is used by the UK National Grid Company (NGC) for customers who wish to connect to its transmission system.  This model agreement makes a reference to the so-called Connection and Use of System Code (CUSC), that NGC has developed and submitted to the UK regulator (OFGEM) for approval.

Risk allocation is an essential component of a successful public-private partnership contract. For many of these projects, demand risk is large and mostly exogenous, which motivates considering contract designs that do not force the concessionaire to bear risk it cannot manage.

Under a PVR contract, the regulator sets the discount rate and tariff schedule and frms compete on the present value of tariff revenue.
