Ofgem’s Targeted Charging Review decision


Ofgem has today (Nov 21) announced its decision on the Targeted Charging Review (TCR), part of an ongoing programme to develop a modernised electricity network system that is smart and flexible.

Responding, Morag Watson, Director of Policy at Scottish Renewables, said: “Ofgem’s plans for partial reform of system balancing charges (BSUoS) are more positive than full reform, but the information published today does not remove the uncertainty hanging over the future of grid charges.

“A proposal for the second BSUoS taskforce which will not produce a final report until June 2020, alongside an implementation timeline which does not align with the Access and Forward Looking Charges Review, creates further uncertainty.

“We remain concerned that Ofgem is not giving due regard to the impact that ongoing changes like these are having on investment in the UK’s energy industry, or the achievement of our net-zero climate change emissions targets.”
