Transmission Network Use of System (TNUoS) Tariffs | National Energy System Operator

NESO·data_release·medium·30 Jan 2026·source document

Summary

NESO publishes quarterly TNUoS tariff data across eight categories including transmission demand residual charges, generator tariffs (onshore and offshore), and embedded export tariffs. The dataset provides granular breakdown of network use charges that recover transmission system costs from users. Files are updated quarterly when tariffs are published, with data available via API and CSV download.

Why it matters

This is reference data that enables market participants to understand transmission charging — the mechanism for recovering £3-4bn annually in transmission costs. The data itself doesn't change rules but reveals how locational and temporal price signals allocate transmission system costs across different user categories.

Key facts

  • Eight tariff categories covering demand residual, generator (onshore/offshore), embedded export, and local circuit charges
  • Quarterly publication schedule aligned with tariff setting
  • Dataset created January 2021, updated monthly according to metadata
