Overview
In line with the CRU’s PR5 Regulatory Framework Incentives and Reporting (CRU/20/154) determination, ESB Networks in its capacity as Distribution System Operator (DSO), today is publishing for consultation a public consultation on the Independent Role of the DSO. This public consultation is intended to seek customers, industry participants and other interested parties views on the approach to the Independent Role of the DSO as set out under CRU20154. Stakeholders are invited to respond on whether the proposed approach is aligned with the objectives of the Independent Role of the DSO incentive, as set out in the PR5 Regulatory Framework document, CRU 20/154. Specifically for the Neutral Market Facilitator element, we would value stakeholders’ perspective on the following questions: 1. Are the commitments made in the programme Independence PID sufficient to demonstrate independence? 2. Are there other areas where you think the programme should be demonstrating independence?
