<p>The Government is taking action to expand the electricity network, in partnership
with the regulator and industry bodies. Ofgem is enabling anticipatory investment
through regulatory frameworks and has accelerated the delivery of nearly £20bn of
strategic transmission projects. We are moving to a strategically planned approach
for networks, initially through the Electricity System Operator’s Holistic Network
Design, which connects almost new offshore wind in a coordinated way, expanding capacity
while improving efficiency. I welcome the Electricity Networks Commissioner’s recent
report on accelerating grid infrastructure and government will publish an Action Plan
this year in response.</p>
