Accelerating the decarbonisation of industrial clusters and dispersed sites

Continue to explore demand-side policies that support the development of markets for resource-efficient and low carbon products.

Increase availability of recycled materials and move to a more circular economy through changes to regulation and increased accessibility of funding

Provide targeted UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) free allowances on a temporary basis and support from policies such as Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (CBAMs)

Use Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and local authorities (LAs) to design local infrastructure plans in coordination with central government and devolved administrations.

Provide certainty of supply and a clear timeline for when low carbon hydrogen, waste biomass, and carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) will be available, using Contracts for Difference (CfDs) and government matchmaking.

Create incentives for electrification by increasing the availability of affordable renewable electricity and shifting the burden of policy and network costs.

Gas Systems

We set price controls for the gas and electricity network companies of Great Britain. Price controls balance the relationship between investment in the network, company returns and the amount that they charge for operating their respective networks.

RIIO-2 is the second set of price controls implemented under our RIIO model. It's an investment programme to transform the energy networks and the electricity system operator to deliver emissions-free green energy in GB, along with world-class service and reliability. 

We set the price controls according to the following sectors and timeframes:

RIIO-GD2

RIIO-GD2 is the price control for the gas distribution network, where network companies take gas from the transmission network and deliver it at safe, lower pressures to homes and businesses. The price control runs for five years, from 2021-2026.

Transmission and distribution network

Transmission Network Use of System (TNUoS)

Tariff System

Residual Tariff

The residual tariff is a ‘balancing item’ and is set to ensure that the average TNUoS charge for all generators does not exceed the legal limit of €2.50/MWh. All generators pay the same residual tariff

Wider Tariff

Wider tariffs are intended to signal to generators the impact to the transmission system of connecting at different locations. As such, wider tariffs vary by geographic location of the point of connection with 27 charging zones across GB.


Generation charging zones are reviewed at the start of each price control period


Wider tariffs also vary by the generator type and historic output levels.


The load factor for each generator is re-calculated each year based on the three median outputs from the past five years of operation. There are two wider tariffs for intermittent generators in zone 3: the shared year round tariff and the not shared year round tariff.


These two tariffs are determined using the transport model under two different scenarios for generation operation.


The shared year round tariff is prorated by the load factor. The input parameters of the transport model are updated each year. The unit cost data associated with circuit types is reviewed at the start of each price control period

Transport model

Local substation Tariff

Local substation tariffs reflect the cost of the first MITS substation that each transmission connected generator connects to. These tariffs are updated annually for inflation. Beinneun Wind Farm connects to the GB transmission system at its local 132/33kV substation

Local circuit Tariff

Where a transmission connected generator is not directly connected to the MITS, the local circuit tariff reflects the cost of overhead lines and cables between the connection and the MITS. Local circuit tariffs are updated annually for inflation and for changes to network use (e.g. new connections). Beinneun Wind Farm is connected to the MITS at the Fort Augustus grid substation via 15km of 132kV overhead line. The use of this infrastructure is charged for through the local circuit tariff.

Balancing Services market

The ancillary (balancing) services market will continue to operate alongside both of the above mechanisms. Here, National Grid pays participants for the option to buy energy at an agreed price, helping National Grid in its obligation to keep the network in balance. Participants can be called on to provide generation or load-management capacity outside of stress events

STOR Short Term Operating Reserve

At certain times of the day we may need access to sources of extra power to help manage actual demand on the system being greater than forecast or unforeseen generation unavailability.


Where it is economic to do so, we will procure sources of extra power ahead of time through the STOR service. Providers of the service help to meet the reserve requirement either by providing additional generation or demand reduction.


The requirement for STOR varies depending on time of year, week and day.

RIIO

RIIO Revenue = Incentives + Innovation + Outputs

RIIO-T2 is the price control for the high voltage electricity transmission networks and high pressure gas transmission networks which transmit energy across Britain from where it is generated. The price control runs for five years, from 2021-2026.

The RIIO-T1 price control ran from 2013-2021.

RIIO-ED2

RIIO-ED2 is the price control for the electricity distribution network, where network companies take power from the transmission network and deliver it at safe, lower voltages to homes and businesses. The price control runs for five years, from 2023-2028.

The RIIO-ED1 price control covers the period from 2015-2023.


In the RIIO-ED2 price control, we will set regulated revenues and required outputs for the electricity distribution network operators (DNOs). In order to do this, we need information from the companies on the activities that they intend to undertake in RIIO-ED2, and their associated costs and outputs. Companies will provide this information to us in the form of a Business Plan, which we will then assess. Companies may earn a reward or be penalised based on our assessment of their plans.


RIIO-2 is the second set of price controls implemented under our RIIO model. It's an investment programme to transform the energy networks and the electricity system operator to deliver emissions-free green energy in GB, along with world-class service and reliability.

Renewables Obligation

The Renewables Obligation (RO) requires licensed electricity suppliers to source a proportion of the electricity they supply to UK customers from renewable sources. We set suppliers’ obligations as a number of Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs). The obligation levels for 2020/21, announced by the Department for Business, Energy & Industry Strategy (BEIS) on the 27 September 2019, are:

Using these obligation levels and multiplying by the total electricity supplied (MWh) to UK customers during this obligation period (1 April 2020 – 31 March 2021), the total obligation for 2020/21 is 119,090,744 ROCs. Split out for each obligation this is:

Suppliers will have until 1 September 2021 to meet their obligations for 2020/21 (31 August for buy-out payments) by opting to either:

Any suppliers who do not meet their obligations in full by the end of 1 September will need to make a late payment by 31 October.

Introduction of E10 Petrol

E10 petrol contains up to 10% renewable ethanol, which will help to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with petrol vehicles and tackle climate change. Petrol in the UK currently contains up to 5% renewable ethanol (known as E5).

E10 petrol is already widely used around the world, including across Europe, the US and Australia. It has also been the reference fuel against which new cars are tested for emissions and performance since 2016.

Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation

nder the RTFO suppliers of transport and non road mobile machinery (NRMM) fuel in the UK must be able to show that a percentage of the fuel they supply comes from renewable and sustainable sources. Fuel suppliers who supply at least 450,000 litres of fuel a year are affected. This includes suppliers of biofuels as well as suppliers of fossil fuel.

The RTFO only covers biofuels used in the transport and NRMM sectors. For information on using bioliquids or biomass to generate heat or electricity see the Ofgem website.

Guidance

Demonstrating compliance: evidence requirements

Use of Solar to generate hydrogen

Evidence of feedstock type in claims for double counted feedstocks


11.16 Considering the financial incentive that double counting of certain feedstocks presents, it will be particularly important to examine evidence of feedstock type for these claims. Evidence will be required that the fuel is indeed made from the feedstock that has been claimed and this evidence must come from the origin. Evidence will vary with feedstock type and source. For example, in the case of used cooking oil, evidence of the original collection of the oil from restaurants or other catering establishments would be required.


11.17 For RFNBOs, evidence of the amounts of each type of renewable electricity and/or renewable heat and/or renewable cold purchased will be required, providing assurance that bioenergy or fossil energy inputs have not been used to generate wholly RFNBO fuel volumes. Evidence that the feedstocks (materials providing atoms to the fuel) used (e.g. water, CO2) do not contain any energy will also be needed. In addition, evidence will be required that the fuel is indeed made from the process energy that has been claimed, and this evidence regarding the process energy must come from the origin (see section 10.14). For example, in the case of solar electricity, a power purchase agreement, or proof of ownership of the solar generation plant by the RFNBO plant, and meter readings would be required, plus a statement regarding the connection to the grid

Contracts for Difference works by creating a private contract between the renewable or low-carbon electricity generator and the Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC).

Generators can bid for these contracts in auctions if they meet the eligibility criteria to participate. These auctions are held every few years with a fixed budget and the aim to guarantee future electricity generation from the development of new low-carbon generation capacity.

The contract agrees to pay the difference between the strike price and the reference price for electricity generated. The strike price is the price that the generator bids at and this should reflect the cost of the investment in the generation technology. The reference price is the indicator of what the average market price for electricity will be in the UK.

The difference between these two prices is paid to the generator to subside the development and generation of the electricity. The generator will only receive payments when the project starts to generate electricity. The generator would still sell the electricity to energy market as usual but would receive this top-up to reach the agreed strike price.

This top-up amount is then charged as a levy on electricity suppliers under the Contracts for Difference (Electricity Supplier Obligation) Regulations 2014. The payment of the top-up amount and the levy on electricity suppliers is managed by the Low Carbon Contracts Company.
