Over the last six months we have reviewed the market for new connections to the electricity distribution network. We made the decision to open our review in response to concerns about whether competition in this market is effective.

As part of that review, we have asked interested parties to tell us how well they think the market is working. We've also asked for views on the issues raised, including feedback on other issues you may consider missing, and some of the solutions proposed by stakeholders.

We have engaged with a large number of stakeholders during the review - we received 80 responses to our call for information, spoke to over 100 customers through our customer research and met with a broad range of connections providers. Prior to the review, we had detailed engagement with stakeholders about parts of the market.
