The allowance is available for all of Great Britain’s electricity Transmission Owners to address the impact of existing lines in these areas. To participate in the scheme Transmission Owners are required to develop and submit a policy to Ofgem for approval. National Grid has set out a policy and process for deciding how to allocate funding in its licence area of England and Wales. National Grid’s VIP policy and process have both been approved by Ofgem following consultation with stakeholders. Further information is available at <a href="http://www.nationalgrid.com/VIP" target="_blank">www.nationalgrid.com/VIP</a>. The Scottish Transmission Owners have not developed a policy, so funding is not currently available in Scotland.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 04/12/2014 15:10:22 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
