Recommendation 42
42
Paragraph: 187
Accelerate investment in future grid capacity ahead of need to prevent generation curtailment costs.
Conclusion
We join many other organisations from across the sector in calling on Ministers, Ofgem and network owners to help recover lost ground by accelerating investment in future grid capacity now ahead of need. The increasing costs associated with turning off generation sites due to a lack of transmission capacity must be halted. Investment should be considered to increase capacity where it is currently inadequate and anticipatory investment should prevent this from happening in areas of future development, for example in Cornwall.
