    RESPs and t-RESPS: local authorities and electricity networks

    Regional Energy Strategic Plans - or RESPs - are a significant new development for the planning of a net zero energy system. Their purpose is to understand how the UK's energy transition is likely to play out at a regional scale - and to ensure that our energy infrastructure and networks are prepared for the scale and pace of change. With a request for information on strategic investment being sent out to Local Authorities in June and July 2025, Regen's Fraser Stewart hosts this run through of RESPs, with a focus on interim t-RESPs (transitional RESPs), and what is will be needed from local authorities with some tips of how to respond. Contributors to this episode: Fraser Stewart (host), Regen's Just Transition and Communities Lead, hosts this introduction to RESPS (as well as more interim tRESPs, or transitional RESPs). Fraser is joined by: Tom Worthington, Regional Energy Strategic Manager at NESO Kate Ashworth from Energy Capital, part of the West Midlands Combined Authority Philip Glanville, UK100 Director of Advocacy and Engagement Jonty Haynes, Principal Analyst at Regen This episode was recorded as part of the Net-Zero Living programme, funded by Innovate UK ** More information: Regen's policy insights paper, produced for the Net Zero Living programme, offers advice and guidance on how to prepare institutionally for changes that may come about as a result of the RESP.
