REC Schedules
The REC Schedules set out the operational processes that REC Parties should follow.
Not all REC Schedules apply to all REC Parties. At the beginning of each REC Schedule, there is a table that identifies for each REC Party whether the Schedule is Mandatory, Voluntary or not applicable. If a REC Schedule is Mandatory for a Party Category, each Party in that Party Category is obliged to comply with that REC Schedule. If a REC Schedule is Voluntary for a Party Category, each Party in that Party Category should recognise this as best practice, but the Parties in that Party Category are not obliged to comply with that REC Schedule. The status of a REC Schedule as Mandatory or Voluntary for a Party Category can change as part of a Change Proposal.
