Summary

Ofgem published RIIO-GT3 guidance for gas transmission network operators covering the 2026-2031 price control period. The guidance applies to licensed gas transmission networks in England, Scotland, and Wales. Gas transmission network companies must use this guidance along with the Network price control 2026 to 2031 (RIIO-3) guidance to meet their licence conditions.

What changed

Ofgem issued guidance establishing the RIIO-GT3 (Revenue = Incentives + Innovation + Outputs - Gas Transmission) price control framework for gas transmission networks for the period 2026 to 2031. The guidance supplements the broader RIIO-3 network price control guidance and provides specific requirements for funded incremental obligated capacity.

Gas transmission network companies must use this guidance document alongside the main RIIO-3 guidance to ensure compliance with their licence conditions. Companies should review the funded incremental obligated capacity guidance document and submissions requirements to understand their obligations. Compliance with these conditions is required for continued operation as a licensed gas transmission network operator in Great Britain.

What to do next

  1. Review RIIO-GT3 guidance and cross-reference with RIIO-3 network price control guidance
  2. Consult the Funded Incremental Obligated Capacity Guidance and Submissions Requirements Document
  3. Update internal compliance procedures to align with gas transmission licence conditions under RIIO-GT3
