Gas system in transition: recovery of gas network costs during the transition

Imported from official source

This call for evidence is inviting views and supporting evidence on the challenges associated with recovering gas network investment and disconnection costs as gas demand changes.

  • potential approaches to recovering these costs, and their implications for consumers, investors and the wider energy system 
  • We welcome evidence from across the gas and wider energy system, including:
