Energy regulator Ofgem has issued its decision to make licence modifications to support the introduction of an Electricity System Restoration Standard (ESRS).
Ofgem chief executive Jonathan Brearley has assured that the goal of the regulator's recommendation of creating a fully independent system operator (ISO) is to support a "robust system" that can result in "billion pound" savings.
Pointing to what it described as “potential” conflicts of interest within National Grid, Ofgem has issued a recommendation for a fully independent system operator (ISO).
