We are consulting on the methodology we will apply to the electricity distribution sector from 1 April 2028.

Consultation description

We set price controls on the companies that run the electricity distribution networks in Great Britain to ensure that current and future consumers get the network services they require at a fair price.

The current price control for the electricity distribution sector (RIIO-ED2) is due to finish in March 2028. The ED3 price controls for the electricity distribution sector will then start on 1 April 2028 and run for 5 years up to 31 March 2033.

In April 2025 we published our ED3 Framework Decision, which confirmed the framework for the new price controls. We are now consulting on the methodology that we will use to apply this framework.

Who should respond

We would like views from stakeholders with an interest in the regulation of energy networks. We would particularly welcome responses from groups representing consumers of electricity. We would also welcome responses from other stakeholders and the public.
