RIIO: a new outcome-driven regulatory regime 3 Revenue = Incentives + Innovation + Outcomes The overriding objectives of the RIIO framework for energy network companies are to encourage them to: play a full role in the delivery of a sustainable energy sector; and deliver network service with long-term value for money for existing and future consumers. The RIIO model moves to setting delivery outputs e.g. customer satisfaction; reliability and availability; safe network services; environmental impact Innovation support mechanisms 3
4 Network Operator Business Plans: proposed expenditure Each Network Operator submits a plan to Ofgem for review Transmission RIIO-T1: 2013-2021 Distribution RIIO-ED1: 2015-2023 Capex forecasts: Transmission ~ 20bn Distribution ~ 14bn Does NOT include smart meter programme Smart capex on Distribution Network RIIO-ED1 ~ 1 bn RIIO-ED2 forecast ~ 10-15bn 4
