Executive Summary
Energy UK largely supports the proposed license modifications to enable TMO4+
connections reform.
However, concerns remain regarding the need to for the connection methodologies to
be codified at some point in the future, likely when code reform has concluded.
We also stress the need to introduce strong license conditions at the distribution level
to submit connection applications on behalf of connecting customers at the next
available connection application window.
There are also considerations regarding the need to change license conditions
referring to the non-discriminatory treatment of connections. This is essential to limit
the risk of legal challenges to connection offers following the implementation of
connections reform.
If you would like to discuss this response in further detail with Energy UK and its
members, we would welcome further engagement.
