Call for evidence description

This call for evidence is seeking views on the current land rights and consents processes for electricity network infrastructure. We want to understand whether the current processes are fit for purpose or whether they act as a barrier to the build of electricity network infrastructure. We’re seeking views on what improvements could be made. This call for evidence will confirm the scope of our review and whether reform is required.

We are keen to hear from all stakeholders with an interest in electricity networks and connections, especially:

  • network companies
  • landowners
  • land agents
  • local planning authorities
  • connection customers, such as housing developers, renewable energy developers and electric vehicle chargepoint installers
