Price controls & network charging
Advice on RIIO price controls and network charging: how regulation, charging and connection assumptions shape the business case for GB energy projects.
Where we can help
Network businesses live or die by their price control. Suppliers and developers live or die by the charges they inherit from it. Value moves where the two meet — and that is rarely where either side expects.
- RIIO price control strategy, business plans and consultation responses
- IDNO and IGT regulatory frameworks, including connection and charging processes
- Network charging methodology changes and their commercial impact
- Settlement reform, including Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement readiness
- Regulatory input to business planning, budgets and forecasting
What the work can produce
- Assumptions reviewThe source, interpretation and uncertainty behind material regulatory assumptions.
- Charging impact assessmentThe commercial effects of a proposed methodology or framework change.
- Submission or board paperThe position, evidence and decisions required, explained for the intended reader.
How we approach it
We establish the relevant entity, activity and network arrangements before reviewing the applicable material. We work with commercial and finance colleagues to identify which assumptions drive the result. The output makes dependencies visible rather than presenting a single forecast as certainty.
