NGN engagement

  • We will mainly be using our existing engagement mechanisms to gather stakeholder input into what we should be focussing on in GD3 – CIVS Hot Topic and Annual Strategic workshops; Perceptions Research; Bilaterals; etc...​
  • We will also set up new channels and partnerships where we might have gaps. This includes working with Rural England and the Leeds Poverty Truth Commission

The 10 questions asked by Ofgem cover the following areas:

Vulnerability strategies – should the GDNs have a collaborative strategy as well as individual strategies

Vulnerability related licence obligations and metrics – what metrics should we retain / remove for GD3
