We have just published our new Network Output Measures (NOMs) Methodology for consultation with interested parties.  If you’ve not read them yet, they can be found here: http://www.talkingnetworkstx.com/network-output-measures.aspx 

The published documents describe our new methodology, that in our role as holder of the Gas Transporter Licence in respect of the NTS, has been developed to meet the requirements of Special Condition 7D (Methodology for Network Output Measures).

There are five documents presented in total. These explain our proposed NOMs Methodology at increasing levels of detail, aimed at different stakeholder groups.

We really want to hear your views so have created this short questionnaire to enable us to consider and make changes to the Methodology prior to final submission to Ofgem.

The public consultation is due to complete on the 15th May 2018 so we would be grateful if your completed online questionnaire could be returned by this date.

 If there are any questions please contact Neil.Tansley@nationalgrid.com
