Ofgem has launched a consultation on whether changes should be made to the electricity generation licence to ensure it is fit for purpose for assets classed as generation but provide network services.

National Grid is looking to acquire Western Power Distribution (WPD) as part of a strategic transformation that will see the company's assets more focused on electricity transmission and distribution.
