Join our webinar to find out more about NESO’s RESP draft methodology consultation and how you can respond.
NESO is consulting on its RESP Methodology. The consultation will launch 17 November 2025 and closes on 16 January 2026.
We will use the responses to help us produce the final methodology. We are working to publish the final version in Summer 2026, once approved by Ofgem and DESNZ.
The final methodology will be implemented to produce the first set of 11 regional energy strategic plans (RESPs): one for Scotland, one for Wales and for nine English regions.
The consultation is seeking responses in relation to the five components of a regional energy strategic plan:
The draft methodology also includes key information on how NESO will engage customers and stakeholders in the development of the 11 RESPs. It also sets out clear responsibilities across NESO, the electricity distribution network operators (DNOs), gas distribution networks (GDNs), and local authorities, to help ensure support better coordination of local energy planning activities.
The webinar also gives you the opportunity to meet members of NESO's RESP team and ask any questions you may have.
