This consultation letter set out our Minded to Position for the Electricity System Operator regulatory and incentive framework from April 2018.
Our proposals represent a material change from the previous approach. They aim to encourage the ESO to more proactively identify how it can maximise consumer benefits across the full range of its activities. Our proposals include an updated set of principles for the ESO; a requirement to develop forward plans with industry; the regular reporting of performance metrics; the introduction of a new ESO Performance Panel; and a move towards a broader, more evaluative financial incentive.
