Citizens Advice responds to Ofgem’s Modifications to additional RIIO-3 associated documents consultation
We broadly support the changes and suggestions in the VCMI governance document. This is a step-change in governance that we believe will improve the strategic alignment of the VCMI, increase the level of scrutiny towards a more comparable level with that of other Ofgem-administered funds, and enhance engagement with a wider range of stakeholders. We recognise Ofgem’s efforts in moving quickly to implement this new governance before the start of the RIIO-3 period in April 2026, as well as the productive conversations held with GDNs, ISGs and other interested parties over the last few months.
