The output of the ICD process was a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) intended to provide a high level of confidence that an industry solution is achievable and could come into effect in October 2010.
The MoU describes the principles and a package of changes to achieve an integrated gas balancing regime through changes to the existing contractual framework. Although the MoU is non-binding, the 11 companies who participated in the ICD process agreed that it should be signed as an indication of support.
