The Environmental Discretionary Reward (EDR) is a broad based environmental scheme for electricity transmission licensees, introduced under the RIIO-T1 price control. This document summarises the scheme’s results for 2013-14, for stakeholders and interested parties. The scheme’s aims are:

  • to help move the industry towards a low carbon energy system, where it can do so effectively, while providing value for money for consumers
  • to encourage companies to achieve high standards of environmental management.

No applicant obtained a high enough score to achieve the ‘leadership' performance required to obtain a financial reward, but all improved on the trial year’s results.
