Local pricing and Winser plans clash, warns renewables body

It is “probably not possible” to reconcile Electricity Network Commissioner Nick Winser’s recommendations for more centralised grid planning with proposals in another government review for localised power pricing, a RenewableUK (RUK) director has warned. The renewable industry umbrella body’s executive director for policy and engagement Ana Musat said that her organisation “fully supports” the recommendation in Winser’s government-commissioned review for a centralised, spatial transmission network plan. However, Musat expressed concern about tensions between Winser’s recommendation and “very radical options” for locational marginal pricing.
