Consultation description
In April 2025 we formally kicked off the energy network review of the ring-fence, as we think it is important we ensure networks are fit for purpose now and remain so as the environment changes. This consultation proposes a set of financial resilience measures to ensure consistency across sectors and to strengthen the ring-fence licence conditions which should benefit consumers and investors alike.
