The RIIO Price Control
Ofgem determine how much revenue we can earn from customers to cover the cost of maintaining and reinforcing the electricity network. This is carried out through a ‘price control’ which sets out how much the company can spend, and how much return can be earned from that investment. The price control mechanism currently in force is called “RIIO-T1.” This mechanism took effect on 1st April 2013 and will run until 31st March 2021. Throughout that period, RIIO-T1 challenges the business to deliver improving levels of service for a more efficient level of cost.

Key Performance Indicators (KPI's)
Our current suite of KPIs were developed, consulted on and implemented in 2013 and, whilst there have been a couple of Ofgem amendments to the baseline overall KPI target and the KPIs’ weighted contribution toward the overall Stakeholder Satisfaction Incentive, the individual KPIs and their respective individual targets remain unchanged from their inception. In October 2018 we published a document that stated our intention to review the existing suite of KPIs with the aim of developing a revised suite that provides better measures of stakeholder satisfaction. We have now launched a consultation presenting an opportunity for stakeholders to ensure that our proposed revised suite for KPIs meets their reasonable needs and expectations. -
