Learning from Norway
In the upward trajectory towards a low carbon world and electrification of transport in particular, there is one country that is on a stellar pathway, and a long way ahead of everyone else – Norway. “Norway envy” is something that is often intimated by professionals in the energy sector, caused by virtually zero carbon energy generation from their enormous hydro-electric power resources and that most of their building heat is derived from this lovely clean electricity as well!

Keeping regulatory certainty
At the end of April this year, Ofgem announced that it will not be launching a mid-period review into the current RIIO1 price control system regulating UK electricity networks. Their conclusion was that RIIO1 was working as intended and they had not identified any issues within the current price control system. They also mentioned that they are happy with preparations by energy networks in specific areas including electric vehicles, cyber security, new European laws and storm resilience. DNOs have committed to using existing allowances of over £600m to drive innovation further into a smarter, more flexible energy system. This helps ensure the energy networks are being more proactive and flexible in meeting demands of newer technologies and services to customers.
