Recommendation 46

The National Energy System Operator (NESO), an organisation currently under development, is consolidating a number of existing functions while also taking on a number of new responsibilities, such as giving advice to the Government and working with local authorities through a new regional energy system planning process. The NESO will be a powerful and influential body: it will be expected to carry out many tasks that in other national energy systems would fall to an energy agency or other independent technical body.
