Elexon is delivering its services as usual during this unprecedented time. Find out how we're dealing with COVID-19
We have been very diligent about how we handle the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact it has had on staff and the industry.
Our approach has been a proactive one, whilst also taking into consideration Government advice. This page will detail what measures and guidance are currently in place.
All Elexon colleagues have been working remotely since 13 March. Whilst remote working has been working well, we have been considering how and when we can re-open the office and what changes will be needed to working arrangements. We have been considering Government guidance and the views of colleagues who work for Elexon.
The closure of the office has so far not resulted in any issues to our services. However, we remain vigilant and continue to monitor the situation closely.
We have decided that we will not be re-opening the Elexon office to external visitors, save in exceptional circumstances, until at least the beginning of 2021 and we will therefore continue to hold all meetings, committees and workgroups virtually. This was decided after viewing the feedback and results from an internal and external survey.
We have created a set of principles to be followed when holding online meetings. These principles will be highlighted at the beginning of each meeting to hopefully improve your virtual meeting experience.
Consistent with the general advice of Ofgem, we are working as normal, delivering our full range of services under the Balancing and Settlement Code, the Capacity Market and the Contracts for Difference schemes.
We have already put measures in place to protect all staff when they eventually return to the office.
We have complied with the government’s guidance managing the risk of COVID-19. Below are the five steps we have undertaken towards a safer work environment
