We are consulting on our enduring regulatory framework for National Energy System Operator (NESO), commencing with the business plan cycle from 1 April 2026.
Who should respond
We want to hear views from NESO. We would also welcome views from:
- anyone interested in NESO’s activities
- consumer groups
- industry trade bodies
Background
We plan to introduce changes to NESO’s regulatory framework in phases. Under this phased approach, we have decided on critical changes for ‘Day 1’ of NESO and wider changes to our performance incentives framework for the business plan period commencing 1 April 2025 and ending 31 March 2026 (BP3). This was the last business plan cycle within the RIIO-2 framework.
We are now consulting on a more enduring regulatory framework for NESO, commencing with the business plan cycle from 1 April 2026. This will be the third stage in our phased approach to implementing NESO’s regulatory framework and the first period following the end of the RIIO-2 framework.
Why your views matter
Your response will help us shape the enduring regulatory framework for NESO, commencing with the business plan cycle from 1 April 2026.
