I don't have #selectivememory at all. There are cost pressures everywhere, in both the regulated and unregulated parts of the business. It shouldn't shock you to hear that ATCOs, while being the biggest asset, are also the biggest cost (and future cost).

What would you do to balance the books? I'd be fascinated to know...

PM me if you want, or start another topic, but we do seem to be digressing from this thread's intent

Thanks for that - found the document, makes interesting reading - it is requesting feedback by June 2017 - with an envisaged applicability of November 2018.
