Offshore transmission network review: decision on asset classification for Holistic Network Design Follow Up Exercise

Decision

This letter sets out our process and decision on the classification of assets included in National Grid Electricity System Operator’s (NGESO) Holistic Network Design Follow Up Exercise (HNDFUE) incorporated in the Beyond 2030 publication into three categories:

  • onshore transmission (reinforcement)
  • radial offshore transmission
  • non-radial offshore transmission

This letter will also provide an overview of the relevant regulatory framework underpinning the decisions made.

Should you have any questions regarding any of the matters raised in this decision, please contact Kirsty Earle at offshore.coordination@ofgem.gov.uk to discuss.
