Jennie is joined by Andrew from Ofgem and Mike from the ESO to reflect on what happened at the Charging Futures Forum in January.

Warm up to the next Charging Futures Forum with Ofgem's Andy Burgess and National Grid Electricity System Operator's Rob Marshall as they take you through 1)the forum agenda and 2)questions to consider before the day.

Access and Forward Looking Charges looks to ensure that electricity networks are used efficiently and flexibly, reflecting users’ needs and allowing consumers to benefit from new technologies and services while avoiding unnecessary costs on energy bills in general. In the podcast we talk to Ofgem about the key points of their decision to launch a Significant Code Review (SCR)

The Targeted Charging Review looks at how to best set residual network charges and how to tackle the 'embedded benefits' which smaller generators connected to the distribution system currently receive. In the podcast we talk about the 5 key things that Ofgem are consulting on: > Distribution and transmission residual charges > The application of balancing services charges (BSUoS) > The Small Generator Discount > Transmission generation residual charge > Balancing Services Charges Task Force The consultation will be open for you to submit your responses until 4 February 2019. Views on the Small Generator Discount need to be provided by 4 January 2019, as this part is a Statutory Consultation.

Rob is joined by Stephen and Louise from Ofgem and the ESO to review what happened at the Charging Futures Forum in September. The slides discussed can be found on www.chargingfutures.com/whats-happening/charging-futures-forum/5-september-2018-forum/

Warm up to the fourth Charging Futures Forum with National Grid Electricity System Operator's Jennie Groome and Rob Marshall as they take you through 1)the forum agenda 2)questions to consider before the day and 3) a quick recap on the recent podcast mini-series on the consultation with different users and their perspectives.

The condoc is here! Rob and Jodie talk through Ofgem's Access arrangements and Forward Looking Charges consultation document (link towards end of this description). They skip through Ofgem's proposals around: - access rights and their allocation for both small users and larger users - changes to distribution forward looking and connection charging - changes to TNUoS generation and demand forward looking charges - how wide a Significant Code Review should be - the role of Ofgem and networks to progress change. The consultation document can be found here: https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/system/files/docs/2018/07/network_access_consultation_july_2018_-_final.pdf

Warm up to the second Charging Futures Forum with National Grid's Jodie Cartwright and Rob Marshall as they take you through the key concepts and questions you'll encounter on the day. They talk over what's been happening since the last Forum in the Access Rights and Forward Looking Charges Task Forces, the options on the tables and four key questions for you to consider ready for the Forum. Questions for Forum attendees to consider: 1. Should there be different access and charging arrangements for household/other small users, compared with larger non-domestic users? Why? 2. What are the advantages/disadvantages of moving from a ‘first come-first served’ basis for allocating capacity, to an auction based approach or other periodic allocation? 3. Are there benefits with having a greater range of network access options available? 4. What changes could we make to improve the cost reflectivity of network charges?
