Recommendation 25
25
Paragraph: 99
Encourage anticipatory network investment to meet likely future demands on the electricity system.
Recommendation
A general focus by Ofgem on ‘just in time’ network investment means that limited current network capacity can be a barrier to new connections. We recommend that the Government and Ofgem work together to encourage anticipatory investment where it is apparent that new demands on the system are likely. This should be done through clear direction based on the Centralised Strategic Network Plan, as well as through targeted market incentives and reform of the network price control review process.
