Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution has announced the launch of its Sustainable Supplier Code, that will require 65% of its supply chain (by spend) to have its own carbon reduction policy.
In its role as the energy regulator, Ofgem is acutely aware of the issues surrounding grid connections and is exploring several interventions to support the UK’s energy community to overcome this growing obstacle.
Ofgem has confirmed the final investment package for network operators over the five years of the RIIO-ED2 period, setting total expenditure on average -11.8% below that submitted by the operators.
Electricity North West (ENW) has committed to investing £650,000 a day into its regional network between 2023 and 2028 in order to support the connection of 500 electric vehicles (EV) per day.
Energy regulator Ofgem has released what it has said is a “landmark five year vision” as part of the draft plans for the next price control period, RIIO-ED2.
