Energy code modification appeal

26 May 2026: RWE has sought to appeal an energy code decision by Ofgem’s governing body, Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (GEMA) made on 1 May 2026 in respect of modifications to the Connection and Use of System Code (the CUSC).

CMP344 is a proposal to amend the CUSC to require the allowed revenue increases reflecting income adjusting events (IAEs) to be recovered under the Transmission Demand Residual Tariff only (and thus not passed on to generators). Ofgem rejected the proposed modification.
