The UK’s connections regime is undergoing its most significant overhaul in decades. Building on our December webinar and recent updates from the National Energy System Operator, this session will unpack the evolving NESO connections reform timeline and what it means in practice for developers, investors and network operators. We will cover the gate-based model (Gate 1/Gate 2), the realignment of the existing queue and delivery pipeline, and the latest methodology updates, alongside practical implications for offers, milestones, and project deliverability in 2026–2030. We will also consider routes to resolve disputes (including under the CUSC framework and Ofgem processes) and where public law risk may arise as reforms bed in.
