We are seeking views on our Draft Determinations for RIIO-2 reopener funding applications for hydrogen network Front End Engineering Design (FEED) applications from Cadent, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), National Gas Transmission (NGT), and West Wales Utilities (WWU).
Who should respond
We would like views from people with an interest in gas transmission (GT) or gas distribution (GD). We would also welcome responses from other stakeholders and the public.
Background
Hydrogen networks may be vital to connect producers with consumers of hydrogen and to balance misalignment in supply and demand. We consider that there is consumer value in providing some funding for the highest priority hydrogen feasibility and FEED studies. The studies will assist understanding of the costs of hydrogen infrastructure and the proposed level of repurposing that could be expected to reduce the stranding risk of existing gas network assets. This consultation seeks input from stakeholders in relation to our draft determinations for four hydrogen network FEED projects.
Why your views matter
We want to hear your views on our assessment of these funding applications. We encourage respondents to consider the specific questions outlined within this consultation. Your responses to this consultation will inform our decision.
How to respond
This consultation closes on 25 April 2025. Please send your response to allan.rankine@ofgem.gov.uk
