SR Response: Transforming Connections Data

On 25 Steptember 2026, Ofgem launched its consultation on Transforming Connections Data, seeking views on proposals for new datasets, data standards and improvements to existing connections data publications as part of the wider Connections End-to-End (E2E) Review process. 

Scottish Renewables and RenewableUK, in one of two joint consultation responses submitted as part of the E2E Review, support the objective of improving the transparency, accessisibility and consistency of connections data. Our response emphasises that better data is essential to enable informed investment decisions, improve confidence in the connections process, and support more efficient network planning and delivery. We also highlight the need for greater clarity on customer protections, connection rights, accountability and risk allocation, while ensuring new data requirements remain proportionare and do not introduce additional complexity, cost or delay for renewable energy developers and investors.
