Is this how we get there? Engagement has shaped our RIIO-T3 Business Plan every step of the way, and that continues now. Please let us know your thoughts through the survey below.  

The survey is structured in parallel with the full Business Plan submission document itself, so you can navigate down the page to find any specific sections you would like to comment on individually. This page will close on 10th February 2025.

p.03-07

Do you have any high-level comments on the Business Plan proposal? 

e.g. Do you believe our plan aligns well with Ofgem's four strategic outcomes?  Does our proposed expenditure seem appropriate?

What do you think of our commitments?

e.g. Are they ambitious enough?  Do they cover the right topics?  Are the timelines reasonable?

p.08-42

Do you agree with "the network we need"?

e.g. Do you think we have interpreted the NESO's Future Energy Scenarios appropriately?  Is our Asset Management Process suitable for planning needs?

What do you think of our proposed portfolio of load-related investment projects? 

e.g. How do you feel about the prioritisation and expected outcomes of these projects?  Are our four categories appropriate?  Do you think our TECA methodology is fit-for-purpose?

Do you think our plans for investment in our existing assets (non-load investment) can deliver long-term value to consumers?

e.g. Do you think we have balanced cost-efficiency and the timing of interventions appropriately?  Have we best realised efficiencies in interactions with our load-related investments?

Do you believe our proposals around network operations are best-aligned to preserve the integrity of the network?

e.g. Are there specific service delivery methods or incentive structures you think could be improved?  Are our Climate and Cyber Resilience strategies well defined?

p.43-75

Are there any additional considerations we should be making with our workforce and supply chain proposals?

e.g. How do you view the robustness and flexibility of our supply chain strategy?  Are our 6 core functions the right ones?  Is our hybrid-delivery model the most appropriate?

Do you think our plans for ongoing engagement through RIIO-T3 and our Community Benefits funding can effectively serve stakeholders and communities?

e.g. Are our themes for delivery of ongoing engagment appropiate?  Could the proposed funding mechanisms be improved?

Do you agree with our approach to digitalisation and data management?

e.g. Are there other specific technologies or data strategies you believe we should focus on?  Are our digitalisation strategy pillars fit-for-purpose?

Do you support the innovation initiatives as outined in the Business Plan? 

e.g. Are the prioritised areas of the Business Plan the right ones? Is our commitment to innovation sufficient?

Are our plans to mitigate, reverse or offset environmental and social impacts as strong as they can be?

e.g. Are the priority areas of our Sustainable Business Strategy appropriate? Is our roadmap for achieving this realistic and/or ambitious enough?

p.76-92

Do you agree with the benefits we believe our plan will deliver?

e.g. Are our assumptions reasonable?  Is there additional value we are not considering?

Do you agree with our cost assumptions?

e.g. Are suggested changes in costs appropriately weighted across categories?

Do you feel sufficently informed about bill impact through this section of the plan?

e.g. Have we provided a breakdown of bill impact with sufficient clarity?

Are our assumptions and modelling for finance and investment in line with your own thinking?

e.g. Do you think our investability assessment framework is robust enough? Is our calculation for estimating a fair return appropriate?

p.93-99
