DESNZ is establishing a new unit within the Infrastructure Planning Delivery team dedicated to post-consent discharge of DCO requirements. The unit will initially focus on nuclear power and electricity networks, with a view to expanding its remit over time. This directly implements the Taskforce's recommendation to centralise DCO requirements discharge, following the model of DfT's National Case Unit. The phased approach allows the unit to build capacity and processes before broadening its scope.
