Will a Capacity Market Notice always be followed up by an operational System Warnings message?
No, there is no guarantee that any operational System Warning will be issued by NESO subsequent to a Capacity Market Notice being issued. Equally, there are also no guarantees that any operational System Warning will be preceded by a Capacity Market Notice. This is because of the key differences highlighted above between capacity and operational messages.
