National Grid opens consultation on 2028 to 2033 distribution price control in South West England
By Eve
National Grid Electricity Distribution is holding an engagement event on 1 July at Sandy Park Stadium in Exeter and online to gather business and community input on its next electricity distribution price control period, covering 2028 to 2033. Participants will be asked about network support for communities, connection enablement, flexible energy solutions and customer value. Sarah Jeffery, head of engagement and insights, said the sessions will show how earlier feedback is shaping plans and allow further input to ensure the company gets it right for customers and communities.
Why it matters: The consultation directly informs National Grid's investment and operational priorities for the South West over a five year regulatory period, shaping the pace and scale of grid capacity available for EV charging infrastructure and other electrification projects. Businesses involved in charging deployment can influence network planning assumptions and connection policies that will affect project timelines and costs through 2033.
