Forward Plan documents
The ESO has had an evaluative incentive scheme since April 2018. During the period from 2018-21, the ESO (in consultation with its stakeholders) published a Forward Plan to set out its activities for each financial year. These Forward Plans were shaped by stakeholder consultation.
The ESO’s incentive reports for the 2018-21 period set out our progress against the activities set out in the Forward Plan.
Forward Plan 2020-21
The final 2020-21 Forward Plan was published in March 2020, setting out our activities for the 2020-21 period. Prior to publishing the final plan, we had consulted on a draft plan, and stakeholders had provided their feedback. We also published a Forward Plan Addendum in July 2020, to take account of the impact of COVID-19 and the feedback provided in Ofgem’s Formal Opinion.
Here you can download Forward Plan 2020-21 documents and information that provides more context around our activities.
