#AskUsAnything: RIIO2 draft determinations

Event Date: 24/07/2020 11:00 am

This webinar, sponsored by Addleshaw Goddard, will be an opportunity for Utility Week readers to pose questions to Akshay Kaul, Ofgem’s director, network price controls.

Our latest #AskUSAnything webinar presents an opportunity to grill Ofgem on all aspects of its draft determinations for RIIO2.

The regulator last week released its first assessment of the business plans from gas and electricity transmission, gas distribution and the electricity system operator for the next price control period, beginning in April 2021.

The determination sets out £25 billion of upfront funding to networks, along with a further £10 billion towards the decarbonisation of the energy system.

However, the regulator has also proposed cutting more than £8 billion from companies’ business plans by setting them stricter efficiency targets and disallowing expenditure which it claims they have been unable to justify.

Ofgem’s stance has been robustly challenged by the networks, which said it would slow the net-zero journey and discourage investment.
