Independent Stakeholder Group (ISG)

The independently chaired Stakeholder Group provides valuable scrutiny and challenge throughout the development of our regulatory submissions and RIIO-2 Business Plans. 

The group reviews how we engage with stakeholders, making sure our plans reflect our stakeholders’ priorities, as well as driving value for consumers. 

Engagement outputs

The Independent Stakeholder Group acts in an advisory capacity and are not a decision-making body. The group have provided valuable input throughout the development stages of the RIIO-2 Business Plan 3 (BP3) as well as Ofgem’s consultation and review process. 

Ongoing role of the Stakeholder Group

ISG is a reconvened version of the ESO RIIO-2 Stakeholder Group (ERSG) that was used to help develop Business Plans 1 and 2 (BP1 and BP2). We have expanded the membership of this group to include industry expertise that will inform our new NESO responsibilities and provide a whole energy system view. The group has provided valuable scrutiny and feedback as we have developed the draft BP3 document. 

The group has met a number of times since April 2024 and was also instrumental in developing the strategic priorities set out in our ‘Introducing NESO’ document.
