Purpose

To provide the Council’s response to the
Ofgem consultation in advance of Ofgem publishing an action plan
for reform later this Summer. Such reforms are essential if the
Barkham Solar Farm is going to achieve earlier grid connection than
the 2037 date currently specified. It is therefore important that
WBC supports the proposed reforms through positive response to the
Ofgem consultation.

Content

That the Executive Member for
Climate Emergency and Resident Services approved the proposed
representations from Wokingham Borough Council to an Ofgem open
letter consultation regarding future reform to the electricity
connections process, as appended to the report.
