Updates on Statement of Works process and Appendix G

We will provide updates on developments in the Statement of Works process and Appendix G trials.

We play an active role in the national working group tasked with transforming the Statement of Works process that identifies constraints on National Grid’s transmission network and any associated liabilities or requirements for customers connecting to regional distribution networks.

Trials are underway at a national level to understand how DNOs can provide more accurate and timely information for customers affected by transmission issues. Our customers told us that they want us to keep them informed about the progress of these trials and any transmission issues or grid works that could affect them when securing a new connection to our network. We said we would do this by providing updates at our Connections Customer Forums and other relevant engagement events.

We have been engaging with interested stakeholders and held briefings at our Connections Customer Forum and DG owner operator forum in November 2019, ensuring we meet our commitment to keep our customers informed.

We have been challenged by a very small number of affected customers to do more. They have identified further actions that they would like us to consider. We are working with the stakeholders to understand their requirements, agree any specific actions and the timescales for delivery
