Regulating our offshore electricity transmissions

Ofgem’s December 2009 consultation. It sets out further detail on the arrangements for OFTO built transmission assets and presents an additional ‘generator build’ option to provide greater flexibility to offshore generators. The document also outlines the implementation challenges we have identified in delivering this further option, and considers how the competitive tendering regime can facilitate the development of a co-ordinated transmission system.
