Decision on the RIIO-ED1 closeout methodology for Specified Street Works Costs (“SSWC”)

Decision

In July 2020, we consulted on our proposed methodology to settle or “closeout” the SSWC element of RIIO-ED1 once the price control has ended. SSWC is one of seven cost areas within RIIO-ED1 that requires a specific mechanism to account for its uncertain nature. The decision on the methodologies for RIIO-ED1 closeout, published in December 2019, sets out the closeout methodologies for the other six elements of the price control.

This document sets out our decision on the SSWC closeout methodology and the final version will be included in the RIIO-ED2 Financial Handbook.
