Description

About us:

As Great Britain's electricity system operator (ESO), we sit at the heart of the electricity system, using our outstanding engineering and commercial expertise to balance electricity supply and demand.

Ultimately, we keep the electricity flowing directly to where it's needed, second by second.

In 2021, government and Ofgem jointly consulted on proposals for an expert, impartial Future System Operator (FSO) with responsibilities across both the electricity and gas systems, to drive progress towards net zero while maintaining energy security and minimising costs for consumers.

In October 2023, the Energy Act 2023 was passed, legislating for this Future System Operator (FSO) to be created.

The new organisation will be set up as a public corporation with operational independence from government - bringing parties together to support optimised decision making and action.

As now, it will be licenced and regulated by Ofgem through price control agreements. It is anticipated that the new organisation will be up and running by or in 2024.

The time to act on climate change is now.

As part of our team, you won't just be touching the lives of almost everyone in Great Britain - you'll be shaping the way we use and consume energy for generations to come.
