Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made towards establishing theĀ Future System Operator; and when they expect it to be fully operational.

Answer

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero and Ofgem continue to work closely with National Grid, the Electricity System Operator and National Gas Transmission to establish the Future System Operator. This has included taking forward legislation as part of the Energy Bill; undertaking further consultation on the roles of the Future System Operator; and developing the relevant licences and detailed implementation plans. Depending on a number of factors, including passage of the Energy Bill and discussing timelines with key parties, our aim continues to be for the FSO to be operational in 2024.
