UK Government's Reformed National Pricing Plan Supports Strategic Energy Development
The Reformed National Pricing Plan (RNP) aims to align with the Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP) to address energy demands from 2030 to 2050. Stakeholder feedback is being solicited until June 2, 2026, to finalize investment and siting strategies.

The Reformed National Pricing Plan (RNP) supports the Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP) by outlining regional locations, capacities, and timelines for electricity and hydrogen production and storage needed to meet energy demands from 2030 to 2050. The government plans to initiate development of siting and investment strategies, including network build and grid connections, prior to finalizing the SSEP pathway.
Current preferences for investment options emphasize the roles of connection regimes and locational charging mechanisms, introducing 'Connection Capacity Thresholds' that may differ from SSEP zonal capacities. Stakeholder input is sought until June 2, 2026, to shape the final approach to these strategies, crucial for future energy infrastructure.
