Executive Summary
Energy UK welcomes this consultation and the efforts to date in delivering an end-to-end review of connections processes, and would note the following core positions.
- It is critical that the time taken to connect is not the only consideration, and that delivery of effective, robust, and reliable connection offers is considered a critical outcome of this work.
- Ofgem must clarify its role in the delivery of new standards, setting out how it will assess networks’ implementation of any improvements and what measures will be taken if networks continue to deliver different levels of service across GB.
- The outputs of the review need to ensure that all parties involved in the connections process have clear, consistent roles and obligations, and complement – rather than conflict with – initiatives such as Connections Reform and network price controls.
