Ofgem new approach to regulation for offshore wind at Cleanpower

Ofgem is using a new approach to regulation to deliver this infrastructure. The presentation "Connecting Offshore Wind to the Grid – a new regulatory model" updates on the program to date and highlights some of the forthcoming developments.
