Ofgem has issued guidance establishing the governance framework for assessing the National Energy System Operator's (NESO) performance on an annual basis. The document details the process and methodology for performance assessment, specifies NESO's reporting obligations, and outlines stakeholder feedback mechanisms. No compliance deadlines or penalties are specified for external parties.

This guidance applies primarily to NESO as the regulated entity. Energy companies and other stakeholders interested in NESO's performance should note the new reporting framework and may participate in stakeholder feedback mechanisms as they are developed. No immediate action is required from external entities.
