The Innovation Link is Ofgem’s team that offers support on energy regulation to innovators looking to trial or launch new products, services, methodologies or business models. The Link offers three services to innovators – Fast, Frank Feedback, the Regulatory Sandbox and Broadcasts; more information about these services is available on the Innovation Link website.
Feedback directly rom the regulator
FFF provides feedback to innovators on the regulatory implications of their propositions. It can help innovators to understand and navigate the sector, assess regulatory barriers that may affect them and identify options for how their models could work within today’s regime.
Anyone seeking FFF support should complete the enquiry form below, so that the team can determine how best to help.
Regulatory Sandbox can help innovators trial or bring to market new products, services, business models and methodologies without the rules applying in the usual way. Download the form by clicking the link below and then send it through to Ofgem.
Broadcasts are public, open resources for innovators and their enablers that provide guidance and advice on recurring issues raised by innovators.
Regulatory Sandbox Tools
Helps innovators interpret regulations and how they might apply to specific trial circumstances.
It can set out an approach to compliance and enforcement for the purposes of a trial.
The Sandbox verifies that a proposition is permissible.
It provides (a derogation) from a specific rule (from a licence or code) that an innovator is not able to comply with.
