This open letter highlights potential future changes to electricity network access and charging arrangements. The aim of this open letter is to ensure generators and potential generators are informed of the potential changes, given the impact that they may have on the business case of generation and the costs and benefits of new network investment.

These changes have potential impacts for all generators. However, following on from our publication earlier this month of a consultation on the needs case for a new transmission link to Orkney, we particularly draw out the potential impacts for generators on Orkney and other Scottish islands where transmission links are planned.
