Energy system cost allocation and recovery review
Assessment framework
Summary
In this chapter we set out five criteria to consider when we refine and appraise options to recover energy system costs from consumers.
It includes potential areas of analysis and data sources for these criteria. We also consider how the criteria may interact and potential trade-offs as well as the timeframe for our assessment.
Details
To change the way we allocate and recover costs will involve trade-offs. We want to make the system fairer and more efficient, but at the same time recover the cost of modernising our systems.
The five criteria are:
- efficiency
- fairness
- practicality
- net zero
- economic growth
These will not all carry equal weight, but be used to assess both domestic and non-domestic energy users.
