Today’s consultation paper outlines the proposed decisions in relation to the main areas within the price controls: structure and form; scope and coverage of regulated tariffs; duration of control; operating costs levels and allocations; and allowed margin. The paper also includes a section on proposals for a supply price control on the designated commissioning/default supplier for the West area - SSE Airtricity.

Following responses to this consultation final decisions will be taken in autumn/winter of this year.

Our preference is for responses to be submitted in electronic format. We will duly consider all representations received on or before the closing date. Please note we may be unable to consider any representations received after this date.
