Gate 2 submissions: a practical guide

Recorded May 2025

Join over 450 people who registered – and us – for a timely webinar designed to bring clarity to the Gate 2 submission process for energy project developers and stakeholders.

Ofgem’s decision to approve the TMO4+ grid connection reform package on 15 April 2025 now triggers a 56-day standstill, and a 4-week CUSC notice period. The Gate 2 evidence window is expected to open in July 2025. Gate 2 is a pivotal moment—where projects are rigorously assessed for readiness and strategic alignment. Those who meet the criteria will secure a confirmed connection date, connection point, and queue position.

Our webinar with Connectologists® Catherine Cleary, Nikki Pillinger and Kyle Murchie will help you understand what’s ahead and how to approach the Gate 2 evidence window with confidence. The team will delve into the specifics of Gate 2 evidence, including:

• expected timelines
• transmission and large BEGA and BELLA, and distribution evidence submission differences
• the biggest do’s and don’ts
• what evidence do you need to meet Gate 2 land criteria
• any risks in requesting advancement – including embedded projects
• where we are with technical limits
• what we recommend DNOs and NESO clarify before the evidence window opens

The team also had over 100 questions from the audience – and did their very best to answer most of them.
