Energy network price controls | Ofgem

What This Means

Network price controls are a fundamental, albeit often overlooked, part of our energy system. They aim to balance investment in infrastructure with keeping costs reasonable for consumers. While seemingly neutral, effective regulation here is critical to prevent excessive charges. We expect Ofgem to continue scrutinising these controls to ensure they support the transition to net-zero without unduly burdening bill-payers.

• Consumers: No immediate change to household bills, but worth watching.
• Businesses: Limited direct cost impact for businesses for now.
• Energy market: A structural or regulatory development to monitor.
