Executive Summary
Energy UK welcomes the consultation on the Centralised Strategic Network Plan (CSNP) methodology, and broadly agrees with most of the proposed approach.
However, further clarity is needed regarding the following:
- NESO should learn from the engagement process for the Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP) and deliver early direct engagement with industry stakeholders and detailed transparency in information and decision making.
- The proposals put forward do not represent a whole-system plan. Such a plan must consider system needs and holistically assess the optimal solution, considering all vectors and technology types.
- NESO must clarify the interaction and coordination of CSNP timelines with other key energy policy timelines.
If you have any questions regarding this response, or would like to discuss this response, further engagement would be welcome.
Kind regards,
Tobias Burke,
Policy Manager
