Industry update following our Future Arrangements for the Electricity System Operator: Informal Consultation on ESO Licence Drafting

Reports, plans and updates

In December 2017, we sought stakeholder views on our proposals for the separation of National Grid’s electricity transmission licence into Transmission Owner and System Operator functions.

The purpose of this update is to share the stakeholder views we received and to explain how our policy positions have developed in light of these views and the additional policy analysis we have undertaken in early 2018. We have also included updated licence drafting to show how these policy positions have been translated into draft licence obligations.
