Ofgem consults on modifications to Offshore Transmission Licences

Ofgem has launched a consultation on proposed modifications to Offshore Transmission Owner (OFTO) Licences under section 11A(2) of the Electricity Act 1989 (EA 1989). Ofgem is seeking views on several proposals, including: (1) the insertion of a new Transmission System Availability Incentive exclusion into Amended Standard Condition E12-J4, to protect OFTOs from penalties when outages are required under System Operator agreements; (2) modifications to the licences of TC East Anglia One OFTO Limited and Diamond Transmission Partners Hornsea Two Limited to align with modification decisions made in June and July 2023 regarding end-of-tender revenue streams and incremental capacity arrangements; and (3) a correction to the licence of TC Robin Rigg OFTO Limited to rectify a drafting error within Amended Standard Condition E12-J4. The consultation closes on 9 October 2025.

NESO publishes response to SSEP SEA scoping report consultation

CJEU upholds nuclear and gas inclusion in sustainable investment taxonomy

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has dismissed Austria's challenge to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1214, which classifies certain nuclear and fossil gas activities as sustainable investments under the Regulation (EU) 2020/852. Austria argued that these sectors should not be considered environmentally sustainable due to their associated risks and environmental impacts. However, the Court held that the Commission acted within its delegated powers and was entitled to conclude that, under specific conditions, nuclear and fossil gas activities can contribute meaningfully to climate change mitigation and adaptation. It emphasised that nuclear energy produces near-zero greenhouse gas emissions and that no economically viable low-carbon alternatives currently exist at sufficient scale to meet continuous energy demand.
