New Director of Markets & Regulation


Paul McGimpsey has joined Energy Networks Association as Director of Markets & Regulation.

In his new role, Paul will be responsible for working on policy and regulation including delivering efficient, secure, Net Zero networks through the RIIO price control process.

Paul has 25 years of experience in the industry on commercial and regulatory matters across transmission and distribution, most recently leading on the development of SP Energy Networks’ whole system strategy for its RIIO-ED2 business plan.

David Smith, Chief Executive at Energy Networks Association said:

“I’m delighted Paul has joined the team especially at such an important time for the industry. With a focus on markets and regulation, he’ll play a vital role in helping the networks to deliver an ever more decentralised, digitalised and decarbonised energy system.”
