Government has also now instigated SCR which is socialised cost reinforcement, essentially DNOs can't charge the customer for certain types of reinforcement anymore, and instead the government have said they'll increase the standing charges to cover these costs, so basically certain types of connection reinforcement are now paid for by everyone not just the customer requesting the work.They justify it through inflation in the network supply costs. Basically, like everyone else, their costs have gone up and so they need to increase the standing charge.
Google Ofgem AccessSCR and it'll tell you all you need to know.
