Competition in Connections Code of Practice

The Competition in Connections Code of Practice was developed through the Electricity Networks Association, in consultation with stakeholders, and approved by Ofgem.

Under the Code of Practice DNOs are required to: 

  • Reduce the extent to which competitors depend on them for essential services
  • Where the DNO is required to provide these services, it will need to do so on the same basis to both its competitors and its own connections business
  • Operate to an Ofgem approved Code of Practice setting out a common set of rules to enable competitors to access the market.
