This is our Guidance Document for the 2021 Gas Discretionary Reward Scheme (DRS) under the RIIO-GD1 price control.

The aim of the Gas DRS is to encourage gas distribution networks (GDNs) to undertake activities to help address a range of social, carbon monoxide (CO) safety and environmental issues.

Under the RIIO-GD1 arrangements, the Gas DRS will run every three years, with a maximum reward of £12m available across the GDNs, over the price control. The amount of the reward is determined by a panel.

The final RIIO-GD1 Gas DRS panel assessment will take place in 2021. The panel will assess performance between 2018-19 and 2020-21.
