Solar Energy UK appreciates the opportunity to contribute to Ofgem’s End-to-End Review. It’s encouraging to see that much of the feedback we’ve provided regarding DNO performance has been referenced within the consultation.
As Ofgem is well aware, the grid presents the greatest challenge in achieving the UK’s Clean Power 2030 goals, making it vital that we have responsive and efficient DNOs to meet growing demand. Our members’ experiences with DNOs have often been strained, and much of this feedback has been shared directly with Ofgem through the Networks Subgroup of the Solar Taskforce.
We are hopeful that the End-to-End Review will address many of these negative experiences and lead to improvements. Additionally, we urge Ofgem to hold DNOs accountable not only for the outcomes of the End-to-End Review but also for the commitments made through the Solar Taskforce. Some of these requests are referenced in our response below.
