UK - The scheme is part of ESO's plan to deliver a net zero electricity network by 2035.

Energy Live News has announced that the electricity system operator has launched an initiative to make the process of connecting to the national electricity transmission network much easier for new projects.

The new approach, called Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC) amnesty, aims to remove stalled projects taking space on the register. The TEC register orders the queue for connections to the national electricity transmission network and includes all projects that seek a connection offer. Under the new plan, those on the register whose projects are unlikely to reach delivery are being given the opportunity to leave the register at no cost or at a reduced fee.

"We are here to help build a system of the future that is clean, reliable and fair. We realise that to deliver net zero, we need to free up space on the connections register so that new low carbon projects can connect much more quickly," said Julian Leslie, ESO Head of Networks at National Grid ESO.

The scheme is part of ESO's plan to deliver a net zero electricity network by 2035 and 50GW of offshore wind by 2030.
