Article summary

Ofgem has announced that it is seeking views on how effectively distribute network operators (DNOs) engage with connections stakeholders to ensure new customers can connect to the electricity network, which Ofgem states is crucial in helping the UK decarbonise its economy. According to Ofgem, the Incentive on Connections Engagement will encourage DNOs to provide evidence of their engagement with connection stakeholders to avoid incurring a penalty. Evidence is submitted via a Looking Back report, which demonstrates how DNOs met the needs of connection customers, and a Looking Forward plan describing future activity. Ofgem is welcoming views on the Looking Back and Looking Forward sections of the submissions from each DNO. The deadline is 30 July 2021.
