On 2 March 2011, Ofgem granted an offshore transmission licence to TC Robin Rigg OFTO Limited, establishing a 20‑year availability‑based, index‑linked revenue regime running to March 2031 for the Robin Rigg transmission assets. Under this regime the consortium’s winning bid secures a regulated revenue stream of approximately £6.5 million per year (indexed to UK RPI), with payments guaranteed by National Grid Electricity Transmission in its role as system operator and with no exposure to wind farm output.
