Investment in offshore transmission is an area of considerable focus for Ofgem.

In December 2012, we consulted on a framework to support the coordination of future offshore transmission assets. Following responses to that consultation, we have further developed policy on a framework for non developer-led wider network benefit investment (WNBI) in coordinated offshore assets.

In this consultation we set out three alternative tender models  for this type of investment. We sought views on these models, including an indication of potential market interest in them. These views will help inform our future decisions on policy for non developer-led WNBI. The consultation closed on 7 March 2014.

This consultation has closed and was not progressed further.
