answer text <p>Ofgem is responsible for the independent regulation of energy network companies. Under the regulatory framework companies are expected to demonstrate effective engagement with stakeholders on their activities, including, where relevant, local authorities and mayors. This applies to agreeing funding with Ofgem for the current 8-year price controls and on an annual basis thereafter. In addition, for larger infrastructure projects network companies have to provide evidence of engagement with stakeholders, and how any concerns have been addressed, to Ofgem as part of the funding approval process. They also have to do so in their planning applications for development consent.</p><p>More widely, as part of the planning consent process, energy infrastructure developers who wish to make changes to their existing consents are required to consult with stakeholders and communities potentially affected by their proposals.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Following the 2015 Spending Review no future rounds are proposed. The economic context has changed since 2011 when the first round of the Regional Growth Fund (RGF) was launched. The economy has recovered significantly and the employment rate has now reached record levels. The RGF is already achieving its task to deliver jobs and sustainable private sector led growth to areas previously dependent on the public sector.</p> more like this
