Executive Summary
Energy UK welcomes Ofgem’s end-to-end review of the connections process. The
proposals broadly align with our members views regarding the need to improve that
standards of service for connections and incentivise timely and higher quality
connections.
We strongly encourage Ofgem to consider the importance of centralised, open-access
granular data to improving connection speed and planning and more standardised
connection processes. We also strongly encourage Ofgem to not rely too heavily on
guidance to sharpen the incentives for network operators. Historically, network
operators respond most to clear license conditions and price incentives. These must
form the basis for improving the connections process.
If you would like to discuss this response in further detail with Energy UK and its
members, we would welcome further engagement.
