<p>Ofgem’s Targeted Charging Review is seeking to ensure all parties connected to
the electricity network make a fair contribution to the fixed network costs. As was
outlined in the ‘After the Trilemma’ speech of 15 November 2018, it is important that
we develop an energy system that discourages free riding and ensures a fair distribution
of costs.</p><p> </p><p>Network charging is a matter for Ofgem as the independent
regulator, and decisions on its Targeted Charging Review are for it to make. However,
Government is working to understand the policy implications of Ofgem’s review proposals
across a broad range of interests, including renewable energy. Ofgem’s published analysis
shows there is a risk that the proposals could affect the investment decisions of
some renewable energy projects, and this view is reflected in stakeholder feedback.</p>
