This letter outlines our decision on the classification of the assets included in National Grid Electricity System Operator’s (NGESO) first Holistic Network Design (HND) into three categories:



- Onshore transmission (reinforcement)

- Radial offshore transmission

- Non-radial offshore transmission



We set out in this letter the regulatory framework, our decision-making process, and resulting classifications and delivery models for this round of HND assets.
