Executive Summary
Energy UK supports the push for an Advanced Procurement Mechanism (APM) and
the intention to integrate it into the RIIO-ET3 price control. However, we note that the
list of eligible components for the APM could be expanded to include key vulnerable
components like semiconductors and transistors. The design of the APM should also
allow for coordination of procurement with non-TO energy sector parties and enable a
joint order book system to be quickly implemented. This measure is key to attracting
business from component manufacturers.
If you would like to discuss this response in further detail with Energy UK and its
members, we would welcome further engagement.
