Distribution Use of System Charging – Managing the effects of surplus residual charges
Summary
Ofgem consultation on managing the effects of surplus residual charges in Distribution Use of System (DUoS). Predecessor to the February 2025 derogation decision.
Why it matters
DUoS residual is the fixed cost-recovery layer. Excessive surplus residual means DNOs would over-collect; the regulation needs to respond. The 2024 consultation framed the issue ahead of the operative 2025 derogation decisions for affected DNOs.
