This letter seeks views on our proposal to remove the Electric Vehicle (EV) Provider of Last Resort (PoLR) provisions in Standard Licence Condition 31F of the Electricity Distribution Licence, which permits DNOs to operate EV charge points as a backstop where no other providers can deliver charge point services at reasonable cost and/or in a timely manner.
Our view, set out in this informal consultation, is that there may be other industry participants better placed to act as EV PoLR. In addition, recent developments in UK Government policy may have reduced or changed the need for an EV PoLR process, and we consider that this is a question for Government to address.
