Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the (a) scope and (b) timescales are for the holistic review of transmission charges; and whether (i) industry and (ii) wider stakeholders will be able to inform that review.

Transmission charging is a matter for Ofgem as the independent regulator. Ofgem published a call for evidence on possible transmission charging reforms on 1 October 2021, which is available at: https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/tnuos-reform-call-evidence . The call for evidence provides all interested parties with an opportunity to submit views and evidence on: the extent to which reform is needed; priority areas that should be looked at; how any reform programme might be delivered; and timescales within which any change is needed. It runs until 12 November 2021.
