Reformed National Pricing Delivery Plan Replaces REMA
Summary
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has published the Reformed National Pricing (RNP) delivery plan, which will replace the Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA). The plan outlines electricity market reforms covering siting and investment levers, constraints management, and balancing and settlement reforms aimed at reducing system costs and improving efficiency. A consultation on reforms to siting and investment levers is open until 11.59pm on 2 June 2026.
“This document details the proposed levers that might influence the siting and investment decisions made by generators, constraints management and balancing and settlement reforms, and covers how these policies will be further refined and delivered.”
Energy companies and generators considering new capacity investments should review the RNP delivery plan and participate in the consultation on siting and investment levers by 2 June 2026. The reforms described aim to reduce costly network constraints and strengthen day-to-day system operation, which may affect investment appraisal for new generation projects in areas subject to constraint management.

Details
The Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) concluded in July 2025 with the Secretary of State’s decision to retain and reform a national electricity market under a new programme called Reformed National Pricing (RNP).
This decision included a commitment to publish a delivery plan describing the various electricity market reforms that make up the programme and outlining how they will be delivered. This document details the proposed levers that might influence the siting and investment decisions made by generators, constraints management and balancing and settlement reforms, and covers how these policies will be further refined and delivered. Together these reforms should reduce system costs and improve efficiency, reduce costly network constraints, and strengthen day-to-day system operation.
Consultation on reforms to siting and investment levers
This delivery plan document additionally contains a consultation on one aspect of the RNP - reforms we intend to make to the siting and investment levers.
