Decision

This consultation sets out the outcome of our recent periodic review of our tender processes for appointing Offshore Transmission Owners (OFTOs) and includes proposals for potential amendments to that process for future OFTO tender rounds. Following this consultation, we expect to make a decision on the tender process for Tender Round 6 in mid-2018.

This document covers three main areas. Firstly, possible drivers for change to the current OFTO tender process and the outcome of our review of the current tender process. Secondly, our proposed packages of possible change to address those drivers. Thirdly, our initial views on other policy areas related to OFTOs we are currently considering.

Please note that the deadline for consultation responses has been extended to 17th May.
