| Objectives | WWU in partnership with KPMG will identify changes to gas transportation charging that are required to meet the changing use of the network. Primarily, this will focus on taking learnings from the electricity sector (distribution and transmission) on how charges have evolved to manage increases in renewable generation. This will include: Providing a description of subsidies, incentives and environmental taxes applicable to renewable electricity generators Providing a description of key aspects of ED and electricity charging noting key differences between gas and electricity with particular regard to renewable generation. Identifying concepts from electricity that could be applied to gas entry together with an outline of how this could work in practice Initially we are proposing this approach as it is a low cost, desk-based study to provide us valuable information on whether to pursue this further. The lessons learnt from this will be useful for us and other network networks. The output of the work will be a set of outline concepts for changes to charging methodologies to meet the challenges of the future, particularly managing the growth of biogas plants. The final report will include: A description of subsidies and incentives available to renewable electricity generators and environmental taxes they face. A description of the key features of how the ED and transmission charging regimes addresses constraints for renewables related to entry to the grid. How arrangements used in ED or transmission could be applied to GD taking into account the differences between electricity and gas. Specific proposals that could be applied to charging for gas entry An enhanced understanding of how gas transportation charging may need to evolve to accommodate increasing levels of distributed generation. | |
