Derogation request: changes to the content of NESO's Future Energy Scenario 2025 Publication
Summary
Ofgem consultation on a derogation request from NESO regarding changes to the content of the Future Energy Scenario 2025 publication.
Why it matters
FES is the foundational scenario document that informs network planning. Derogation requests indicate NESO wants to modify what FES publishes. Allowing changes affects what stakeholders see and use for their own analysis. Watch for narrowed scope of the published FES if approved.
