Our commitments to 2026
Consumer Value
We will have unlocked around £3 billion of consumer benefits by 2026 through delivery of our commitments.
We estimate the consumer benefits of our RIIO-2 activities at around £3 billion. You can find out more about our cost-benefit analyses in ‘Annex 2’ of our RIIO-2 Business Plan. This estimate includes the benefits of the existing commitments listed under the ‘Clean Power’ and ‘Decarbonised Energy’ priorities.
The main NESO deliverables under this priority are a balancing costs strategy, initiatives to increase market participation and technology modernisation.
