The RIIO-3 Data Best Practice (DBP) Guidance is a core part of the Digitalisation Licence Condition required for network operators subject to the RIIO-3 framework. The RIIO-3 price control period runs for five years, from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2031. It applies to network companies across the Electricity Transmission (ET), Gas Distribution (GD), and Gas Transmission (GT) sectors in the United Kingdom.

These requirements are part of consultation documents that have been publicly disclosed by the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem). Ofgem is Great Britain's independent energy regulator and is governed by the Gas and Electricity Market Authority (GEMA).

Any breach of licence conditions can pose compliance and regulatory risk, potentially leading to investigation and penalties, including financial fines of up to 10% of annual turnover, as set out in Ofgem’s Enforcement Guidelines.
