On 27 July DECC and Ofgem E-Serve published a joint open letter, ‘Providing additional flexibility in the enduring regulatory regime for offshore electricity transmission – Ofgem E-Serve/DECC open letter’.
This letter outlines our intention to consult further on the enduring regime for offshore electricity transmission. We propose to consult on providing the option of enabling generator developers to design and construct the transmission infrastructure in addition to the existing ‘OFTO’ build approach. The consultation will also seek views on how best to ensure that the enduring regime delivers a coordinated and strategic onshore and offshore network.
The letter also provides details on the commencement of the new regime for transitional projects; new tender regulations; and the next steps.
The open letter is available from the link below:
