Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On December 18, 2018, U.K. utility regulator Ofgem issued a consultation related to its RIIO-2 price controls that will run from 2021 to 2026 for gas distribution, gas transmission and electricity transmission operators, seeking input from a wide variety of stakeholders. The document released today is a proposal for consideration and comment.
The consultation document does not apply to electricity distribution network operators ("DNOs"), including PPL Corporation's ("PPL") Western Power Distribution ("WPD") networks in the U.K., and does not have any impact on PPL's current business plans or WPD operations.
A full consultation related to DNOs will begin in 2020, with new rates for DNOs not taking effect until April 2023. PPL and WPD will continue to provide input and engage with Ofgem throughout the consultation process to arrive at the best outcomes for all stakeholders.
