Requirements of the role
We’re offering a fixed-term senior leadership opportunity to oversee and govern the new Independent Challenge Panel (ICP) – a key independent stakeholder group in our regulatory framework for the National Energy System Operator (NESO). This will be an industry-led, self-administered panel, with members from across the GB energy sector who represent the full breadth of NESO’s stakeholders. The ICP will provide comprehensive and co-ordinated feedback on stakeholders’ views of NESO’s performance and will produce an annual public report that will inform Ofgem’s incentives decision-making process.
