<strong>RIIO</strong>-<strong>T1</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>GD1</strong>: <strong>Draft</strong> <strong>licence</strong> <strong>conditions</strong> <strong>–</strong> <strong>First</strong> <strong>informal</strong> <strong>licence</strong> drafting<br />
consultation<br />
Context<br />
The gas <strong>and</strong> electricity transmission price controls (TPCR4) expired on 31 March<br />
2012. We then implemented a one-year adapted rollover of TPCR4 from 1 April 2012<br />
to 31 March 2013. The gas distribution price control review (GDPCR2) reset the<br />
revenue allowances for the Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs) for the period, 1 April<br />
2008 to 31 March 2013. The next transmission (<strong>RIIO</strong>-<strong>T1</strong>) <strong>and</strong> gas distribution (<strong>RIIO</strong>-<br />
<strong>GD1</strong>) price controls will reflect the new <strong>RIIO</strong> (Revenue = Incentives + Innovation +<br />
Outputs) model for regulation <strong>and</strong> are due to apply from 1 April 2013 to 31 March<br />
2021.<br />
The business plans submitted by SP Transmission Ltd (SPTL) <strong>and</strong> Scottish Hydro<br />
Electric Transmission Ltd (SHETL) were suitable for fast-tracking <strong>and</strong> we have<br />
published Final Proposals 1 (FP Documents) for those companies. The business plans<br />
submitted by National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) <strong>and</strong> National Grid Gas,<br />
with respect to its gas transmission business (NGGT) were not considered suitable<br />
for fast-tracking. Initial Proposals for NGET <strong>and</strong> NGGT 2 (<strong>T1</strong> IP Documents) have<br />
been published alongside this document. We intend to publish Final Proposals in<br />
December 2012.<br />
In November 2011, the Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs) submitted their first<br />
business plans, <strong>and</strong> on 17 February 2012 we published our initial assessment of<br />
those plans 3 . We decided not to fast-track any of the GDNs, therefore as with NGGT<br />
<strong>and</strong> NGET, Initial Proposals for the GDNs 4 (<strong>GD1</strong> IP Documents) have also been<br />
published alongside this document with Final Proposals to be published in December<br />
2012.<br />
