Recommendation 47
47
Paragraph: 203
Require Ofgem to ensure RIIO-ED2 mechanisms enable distribution network investment for low-carbon rollout.
Recommendation
We recommend that when a need for investment in the distribution network becomes clear, Ofgem ensures the uncertainty mechanisms included in the RIIO-ED2 framework are applied efficiently. Should these prove inadequate to respond to a rapid roll-out of low-carbon technologies, Ofgem should take equivalent steps to its ASTI framework to ensure that distribution networks are an enabler not blocker to net zero.
