#40 Grid News and Views #9

Our Grid News and Views series is back for another episode! We are joined again by four of our brilliant team of Connectologists ® at Roadnight Taylor, Catherine Cleary, Kyle Murchie, Nikki Pillinger and Philip Bale. In this episode, Connections Reform is at the forefront of the conversation, where Kyle’s experience sitting on working groups will hopefully provide some key insight.

Kyle first discusses the transitional arrangements and changes on the current Connections Reform and the CUSC Mods CMP434 and 435 in line with the responses collected from the recent consultation.

Kyle also discusses the milestone calculator, which is available on our website, so you can calculate how these proposed changes would impact milestones for your specific project – and how these compare to the milestones provided under CMP376.

Nikki shares her thoughts and opinions on Connections Reform, exploring how central government may respond in response to their ambitions of decarbonisation and renewable energy. The Connectologists® discuss the clean energy economy the government want to implement by 2030, and whether we are on track to achieve this goal.

The Connectologists® finally discuss what is next for Connections Reform and any additional measures which should be implemented to avoid any unintended consequences.

Given the pace of change, it is noted that certain aspects have developed further since we recorded this film last month - some of these points will be covered in our next podcast #41.
