Our Citizens Panel is the voice of our customers at Northern Gas Networks. Its aim is to provide a customer perspective, and ensure thoughts and opinions are put at the heart of our decision making through meaningful and relevant engagement with our customers.
We wanted to use this session to identify which areas and ideas customers think are important and meaningful for us to deliver from RIIO-2 that Ofgem didn’t accept. We wanted to understand which our customers think we should continue to monitor, and which customers’ prioritise of all outputs, as well as highlighting any alternative measurements for customer targets and standards to inform how we view the next iteration of our annual strategic plan for outputs. This will all help to inform our thinking around the next stages of RIIO3.
