NESO's stakeholder groups
We’re passionate about transparency. That’s why we’ve established a number of stakeholder groups. Members are selected from both inside and outside the energy sector, to ensure a wide range of interests are considered.
In addition to transparency, these groups provide a number of benefits to us and to the industry. These include customer and stakeholder feedback, as well as allowing us to gain expert advice on the engineering decisions we take; both on a day to day basis, and as we innovate towards net zero in 2050.
NESO Technology Advisory Council (TAC)
The role of the TAC is to help guide NESO’s digital, data and technological transformation. It will ensure we work with the industry on the development of new systems, and provide transparency and accountability for their development.
NESO Markets Advisory Council (MAC)
NESO has a central role today in GB energy market design. The MAC has recently been established to inform our approach to strategic market design and delivery, based on robust evidence, international best practice, and the needs of and impacts on wider industry. The group is made up of experts from all parts of the electricity value chain including networks, generators, flexibility providers and academia.
ESO RIIO-2 Stakeholder Group (ERSG)
ERSG was established to make sure our stakeholders and consumers have a formal voice as we develop our future RIIO business plans. Its members represent a wide cross-section of the energy industry, from larger and smaller generators, network companies, energy suppliers and consumer bodies. Their role is to scrutinise and challenge our proposals, ensure stakeholder priorities are reflected in our ambitions to drive value for our consumers, and meet our net zero targets.
NESO Advisory Forum
To help us solve the future energy challenges from decarbonisation to security, we are establishing the NESO Advisory Forum - to listen, learn, share ideas and collaborate with a wide range of views across Great Britain.
The NESO Advisory Forums will be made up of representatives from a wide range of community interest groups each focusing on the energy needs and outlook of a specific section of society and will launch in Summer 2024.
