<p>The Holistic Network Design (HND) provides a recommended design to connect 23GW
of offshore wind. Alongside projects already installed, in planning or in consenting,
total capacity if delivered, will exceed 50GW by 2030.</p><p> </p><p>To ensure the
infrastructure identified in the HND can be built, BEIS is working across government
to implement the commitments made in the <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fbritish-energy-security-strategy%2Fbritish-energy-security-strategy&data=05%7C01%7CParliamentary.PQ%40BEIS.gov.uk%7C0c12715353804e0768b808dadc6617fa%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638064628282461296%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=oCNYlEK7GzPw18HqduaRxYGt1jXFLHGwNGxKj4TYeig%3D&reserved=0"

and encourages the work of Ofgem and National Grid Electricity Systems Operator (NGESO)
in developing and implementing the HND. For example, Ofgem is consulting on appropriate
delivery models for projects in the HND and on accelerating the delivery of the strategic
electricity transmission network. NGESO published their ‘Industry Code, Standard and
Licence Recommendation Report' alongside the HND in July 2022; this outlined the scope
of the changes to codes and standards needed to implement the HND. The NGESO is now
working with industry to progress these changes.</p>
