We are consulting on a proposed licence conditions change to Standard Licence Condition (SLC) 31E of the electricity distribution licence, 'Removal of reporting requirements'.
Consultation description
This proposed licence conditions change would remove the reporting requirements mandated by SLC 31E in anticipation of new flexibility service reporting being introduced by Elexon as Market Facilitator.
We propose that reporting to Ofgem continue until the process for reporting to the Market Facilitator is established.
We are seeking views on the proposed licence modifications and the value of procurement statements and reports.
This statutory consultation will be open until 28 October 2026. We will use the feedback from this consultation to inform a decision which we will publish by December 2026.
