<p>The transmission charging regime is the responsibility of Ofgem as the independent
regulator. Ofgem’s ‘Project Transmit’ review represented a detailed assessment of
the transmission charging arrangements, and its results were implemented in April
2016. The current regime seeks to ensure that the electricity transmission system
develops in the most efficient and cost-effective way for consumers, and the evidence
indicates that it does not disincentivise renewable energy projects. For example,
in Scotland alone, over 12 Giga Watts of renewable energy projects are contracted
to connect to the transmission system over the next eight years.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
