Ofgem has published a consultation proposing to let developers, generators, storage operators and demand customers build their own connection assets all the way to the existing transmission system, rather than relying on a Transmission Owner to do it, and then hand those assets over once built. The current rule confining this option to sites within 2km of the grid, long seen as the main constraint on self-build, would be scrapped. Responses are due by 13 November 2026.
Our article here explores these proposals in more detail.
