For example, there are new provisions about damages in the case of the late delivery or unavailability of the transmission system for offshore windfarms. The amount of damages depends on the volumes of electricity that the windfarm could have produced if the system had worked. Other new provisions regard the system of investment plans and the redundancy of the transmission system.
