Draft strategic policy guidance for electricity networks growth
Applies to England, Scotland and Wales
Consultation description
This consultation seeks feedback on proposed social and environmental guidance for the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (GEMA) – the governing body for Ofgem – on delivering growth through electricity networks.
The purpose of the guidance is to ensure that Ofgem is able to support electricity networks to enable growth in a way that is consistent with its objectives, duties, and functions. The government is issuing it now because there is a strong, time-critical opportunity to boost domestic production in networks supply chains.
We welcome feedback and evidence from a range of stakeholders, including:
- GEMA
- Ofgem licensees
- consumer organisations
- manufacturers
- developers
- industry bodies
