About the National Energy System Operator (NESO)

In Autumn of 2024, the ESO transitioned to National Energy System Operator, or NESO for short. Previously denoted as the Future System Operator (or FSO), the new National Energy System Operator is the independent body responsible for planning Great Britain’s electricity and gas networks and operating the electricity system.

The ESO, including all of its existing roles, are now at the heart of the new National Energy System Operator. As NESO, we will build on our existing roles, capabilities, and ways of working significantly to create an organisation the energy system and its users’ need. Our new capabilities will enable us to look across vectors, including electricity, natural gas and hydrogen, and crucially consider the trade-offs between them.

The organisation is set up as a public corporation with its own Board of independent directors, with complete operational independence from government, the regulator and any and all commercial interest. As was the ESO, NESO will be licenced and regulated by Ofgem through price control agreements and obligated to identify optimal solutions to system operations and planning in the most sustainable, affordable and secure way for all.

• Lead the development and maintenance of a future plan for gas market arrangements, setting out NESO’s view of how these arrangements should evolve to support a secure, operable, and decarbonised energy system.
• Ensure the plan is informed by robust analysis, system needs, and stakeholder input, and is updated on a regular cycle as outlined in our licence conditions.
• Translate strategic direction into a coordinated programme of work, including market design, policy development, and code change proposals.
• Establish and lead a structured engagement process with relevant gas market participants, including network operators, shippers and suppliers.
• Chair regular forums and working groups to gather input, test ideas, and build consensus on market evolution.
• Ensure transparency and accountability in how stakeholder views are considered and reflected in NESO’s strategy.

• Work closely with electricity market strategy teams to ensure alignment and coherence across gas and electricity market arrangements.
• Contribute to the development of NESO’s Whole Energy Market Strategy, ensuring gas market reforms support wider system objectives including flexibility, resilience, and decarbonisation.
• Identify and address cross-vector dependencies, including hydrogen, CCUS, and system operability.
• Lead and develop a multidisciplinary team with expertise in gas markets, policy, commercial strategy, and stakeholder engagement.
• Foster a culture of openness, collaboration, and delivery excellence.
• Oversee planning, resourcing, and reporting to ensure timely and high-quality delivery of strategic initiatives.
