Feedback is provided on three key areas:

1. The guidance should provide clarity that projects incentivising distributed flexibility, that provide benefits directly to customers, are in scope.

2. The guidance should set out requirements to demonstrate how EDBs will scale the learnings from the innovation project to provide ongoing customer benefits including:

a. Share a Draft Roadmap on how customer benefits from the innovation project will be implemented network wide to deliver better outcomes at scale.

b. Require applicants to include a methodology to report on ongoing customer benefits from scaling outcomes from the innovation project.

c. Require a commitment to ongoing monitoring and reporting on these measures to demonstrate scaled customer benefit outcomes.

3. The guidance should be clear on what is needed to sufficiently share learning including:

a. Setting out requirements for shared learning and data that needs to be collected throughout the project defined via application guidance and refined during the approval process.

b. Structuring project learning reports so they can be easily catalogued and accessed by others.
