The aim of the Gas Discretionary Reward Scheme (DRS) is to encourage gas distribution network operators (GDNs) to undertake activities to help address a range of social or environmental issues.
 
Under the RIIO-GD1 arrangements, the Gas DRS will run every three years, with a maximum reward of £12m available across the GDNs, over the price control.
 
The first RIIO-GD1 Gas DRS panel assessment will take place in summer 2015. The panel will assess performance in the first two years of RIIO-GD1 (2013-14 and 2014-15).
 
This is our decision on the Guidance Document for the first Gas Discretionary Reward Scheme (DRS) assessment under the current price control (RIIO-GD1).
