This letter sets out Ofgem's vision (with support of Government and ESO) and next steps for the reformed regulatory framework on connections, including the roles and interactions between the TMO4+ code modifications, methodologies, and licences. We set out the need to align the connections process with strategic network build and spatial energy planning, and the opportunities that the upcoming Clean Power 2030 Plan and Strategic Spatial Energy Plan provide to achieve this. We therefore intend to consult on potential licence changes, in order to realise connections reform and enable the transition to Clean Power by 2030.
