Regional Energy Strategic Planning Methodology Consultation
NESO
Deadline: 16 January 2026
The National Energy Systems Operator (NESO) are consulting on the methodology of RESP, which is set to be published in summer 2026, subject to Ofgem and DESNZ approval. This methodology will be used to produce the first set of nine RESPs in England, one in Scotland and one in Wales.
Regional energy strategic planning is a fundamental step in NESO’s ambitions to deliver a whole-system approach to strategic energy planning in GB, which focuses on local priorities and needs.
Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) scheme: indexation changes
DESNZ
Deadline: 12 December 2025
The UK government is proposing changing the inflation indexation calculation for the Renewables Obligation (RO) and Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) schemes, from the Retail Price Index (RPI) to the Consumer Price Index (CPI):
- for the Renewables Obligation (RO) scheme, the inflation indexation calculation for the buy-out price would change from RPI to CPI
- for the Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) scheme, the annual tariff adjustment calculation would change from RPI to CPI
The indexation change would come into effect in April 2026 and would affect all UK generators on the RO and FiT schemes.
Changes to inflation indexation would lower the annual subsidy uplifts for generators and reduce the cost of these schemes for UK consumers.
