Approach

We published an Approach Consultation Paper on 5 November 2026 for our next price control for the gas transmission network, that we refer to as GT27. This price control is due to run from 1 October 2027 until 30 September 2032.

Through the GT27 price control we will determine the level of revenue and allowances for the gas transmission operators that will enable them to continue operating the gas network safely and efficiently, as well as supporting government decarbonisation goals. 

The consultation outlines our approach for setting the structure, form and duration of the price control, operating costs levels/replacement expenditure and other proposed changes in relation to energy transition allowances and inflation. It also addresses considerations on remuneration and risk.

The consultation paper sets out a timetable for the process of reaching a determination and proposes an approach for the areas that will be covered within the process.
