We set price controls on the companies that run the gas and electricity networks in Great Britain to ensure that current and future consumers get the network services they require at a fair price. We do so through the RIIO model, where we set network company Revenues using Incentives to deliver Innovation and Outputs.

The current RIIO-2 price controls for the electricity and gas transmission and gas distribution sectors are due to finish in March 2026. The RIIO-3 price controls for these sectors will then start on 1 April 2026. In October 2023 we published our decision on the Future Systems and Networks Regulation consultation, which confirmed the framework for the new price controls. We are now consulting on the sector methodologies that we will use to apply this framework.

The consultation period will close on 6 March 2024 and please send all responses to RIIO3@ofgem.gov.uk.
