Ofgem has a duty to consider the methodologies used by electricity Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) to set charges for connection to and use of their distribution systems.
In some cases, basic charging structures date back many years and do not reflect the changing profile of system usage. Following an interim review in 2004/05, Ofgem is continuing to work with DNOs to develop new approaches to demand and generation use of system charges.
Links to DNO charging statements can be found in the further resources box on the right had side of this page.
Up until March 2007 the Ofgem chaired Implementation Steering Group (ISG) dealt with a number of charging issues which affected DNOs and other stakeholders. The minutes and agendas from these meetings can be seen below. This group has since been replaced by the Distribution Charging and Methodologies Forum (DCMF) - link opens in a new window.
