Here’s the message ….but does anyone know what it means :: The SSEP is the centrepiece of reformed national pricing. We anticipate the SSEP will be driven and implemented through important associated levers; these may include, but are not limited to, planning reform, seabed leasing (the process by which new offshore projects are brought forward and sequenced), network build (the Centralised Strategic Network Plan (CSNP)), reforms to the connections regime, and reforms to network charging. Through its delivery levers, it will spatially optimise the energy system, land and sea, across Great Britain. The first iteration of the SSEP, currently under development and subject to future consultation, is due for publication in 2026, and will include electricity and hydrogen generation and storage technologies. It will assess infrastructure potential on a regional basis, as agreed in the October 2024 commission to NESO and affirmed in the SSEP methodology published May 2025. This will provide clarity to industry, whilst allowing for competition through markets to identify the optimal projects to bring forward.
Perhaps they’re just going to sit on their hands and squander another £10m on Beer and sandwiches
