This open letter sets out the government’s and Ofgem’s plans to reform the outdated grid connections process.
Alongside accelerated network build, these reforms are needed for delivery of the government’s clean power ambition and to enable timely electrification of the wider economy. Issuing connection offers to viable projects in line with strategic plans will be necessary to ensure finite network capacity is allocated to the right projects, in the right places, at the right time.
It’s important that all parties involved work at pace to secure swift and effective connections reform and explore all opportunities for faster implementation.
