What Next for Connections Policy Reform in the UK?

Synopsis

This follow-on discussion will go into detail on the next steps for much-needed connections policy reform in the UK, including longer-term solutions such as:

• The potential shift to batch-processing connections and how this will be seen to work in the UK
• The phase-out of the ‘first-come-first-serve’ approach and the new powers of the ESO to remove ‘zombie’ projects from the queue
• Planning permission as a prerequisite and the impact on developers
• GB setting the precedent and lessons we can learn from other countries on this front
