Offshore electricity transmission (OFTO)

We are consulting on HVDC availability, control of OFTO assets, changes to the Generator Commissioning Clause and Bidder Incentive Mechanisms.

The Authority proposes to modify certain standard conditions of the transmission licence for Seagreen Phase 1 OFTO Project Limited using our powers under Section 8A of the Electricity Act 1989.

Since 2021, Ofgem has been engaging with stakeholders about a range of evolutionary changes aimed at ensuring the OFTO regime remains effective.
