RIIO-GD2 Final Determination

3 March 2021

Decision by the Board to refer its RIIO-GD2 Final Determination to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)

The Issuer and Southern Gas Networks plc have today released the following statement:

The Board of directors of the Issuer and Southern Gas Networks plc (together "SGN") will refer elements of the RIIO-GD2 process to the CMA. SGN's licence modification was published by Ofgem on 3 February 2021 and was based on Ofgem's Final Determination published on 8 December 2020.

SGN is an award-winning gas network company with a strong track-record of delivering a safe and efficient supply of natural and green gas to 5.9 million customers. For the five-year regulatory period covering 2021-2026, SGN formulated a comprehensive and robust business plan which carefully reflected the views of many stakeholders and customers, while preparing a decarbonised gas network for the future.

SGN has identified a number of technical issues in Ofgem's Final Determination and, as a result, has referred these to the CMA. Specifically, SGN has decided to appeal on cost of equity, outperformance wedge and certain aspects of Ofgem's efficiency methodology.

Subject to the CMA granting permission to appeal, the process is expected to take until Autumn 2021 to reach a conclusion.

While the CMA process is ongoing, SGN remains committed to delivering operational excellence and outstanding service for all our customers. SGN will continue to work constructively with Ofgem and the UK and Scottish governments to help meet net-zero targets through our pioneering decarbonisation programme.
