We welcome Ofgem’s consultation on approaches to local energy institutions and governance but would like Ofgem to think more deeply about the practical reality that local actors face in delivering net-zero. This includes Ofgem taking a far broader view of what ‘good outcomes’ look like in an energy world where place matters. We also want more discussion on how the Future System Operator is best-suited to the role of regional energy-system planner and market facilitator.
