The System Operator hosts a Planned Outage Co-ordination Process (POCP) where industry participants upload and view planned outages of power system assets.  The Process and associated tools allow both the System Operator and industry participants to manage and co-ordinate outage requirements of plant and equipment, while maintaining the security of the National Grid.

The process and associated database have been working successfully since 1 September 2003.  Industry workshops to review POCP were carried out in 2006, 2009 and 2013.  The 2019 review of POCP has been completed, with recommended user interface changes planned to be implemented in 2020.
