Modifications to the special licence conditions in the electricity transmission licences: Early Competition in Onshore Electricity Transmission - Decision

Share the page

On 10 December 2024 we published a statutory consultation on proposed modifications to the special conditions (SpCs) in the Transmission Owners (TOs) electricity transmission licences to implement onshore electricity transmission Early Competition policy.

This document sets out our decision and rationale for implementing two new special licence conditions: SpC 9.20 and 9.21. It also sets out our decision and rationale for implementing modifications to two existing special conditions:  SpC 1.1 and SpC 9.14.

This document also includes our decision to introduce three new associated documents to the electricity transmission licences: the Onshore Information Exchange Guidance, Conflict Mitigation Methodology and Conflict Management Audit Terms of Reference.
