We are seeking stakeholder interest in joining the Charging Transitional Arrangements Group (CTAG) to inform our view on whether arrangements might be needed ahead of transmission charging reforms.
Call for input description
Following UK government’s July 2025 decision to retain a single national wholesale price, Ofgem, National Energy System Operator (NESO) and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) are continuing to collaborate to review electricity market arrangements through the ‘Reformed National Pricing’ (RNP) programme. The programme will identify and assess options for changes to the electricity transmission network charging regime to support government’s aims.
As part of this, we are looking to establish a stakeholder group to support us in our consideration of whether the new regime should apply to all generators, or whether establishing a ‘transitional’ or ‘legacy’ arrangement would be in the interests of consumers, and consistent with our statutory duties. This document sets out how interested parties can join that group.
Stakeholders should note that further Expert Panels will be established by the RNP programme later this year to address other policy matters.
Who should respond
We are looking for good representation across the market to ensure the CTAG is comprised of a diverse range of experience, business models, and technology.
We particularly encourage responses from generators across technology types and schemes for example, merchant generators, those under Contracts for Difference, or the Nuclear Regulated Asset Base. We also welcome responses from:
- trade associations
- consumer group representatives
- any other interested stakeholders
How to respond
You can respond by emailing tnuosreform@ofgem.gov.uk by 5pm on Tuesday 24 March 2026 with the information requested in the ‘how to register’ section of the document.
