Conclusion on the DCC Business Handover Plan

Conclusion to the DCC consultation on version 16 of the Business Handover Plan (BHP)

Condition 43 of the DCC Licence requires DCC to produce a BHP to help facilitate the smooth transition of the DCC’s business and operations from one licence holder to another.

In March 2025 we consulted on an updated version (v16) of the Business Handover Plan (BHP) and Joint Handover Steering Group (JHSG) Terms of Reference.

The consultation closed on Thursday 3 April 2025 and we received four written responses.

DCC has updated the BHP in order to submit it to Ofgem for approval. On 8 April 2025, Ofgem directed the DCC to revise the Business Handover Plan under Licence Condition 43 Part C 43.11 and submit it to Ofgem, with further requested information, by no later than the 28 April 2025.

We have submitted this conclusions report, the updated version of the BHP (version 17) and the requested information to Ofgem for approval on 28 April 2025. Following formal approval of the BHP by Ofgem, we will publish the final Business Handover Plan on the DCC Website and notify SEC Parties and SEC Panel.
