Network Rail announced on March 4 that it was launching consultation with global investors and electricity network operators to explore the possible sale of its electrical power assets. This follows a market-testing exercise undertaken by KPMG last year. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, NR Chief Executive Mark Came said that with 'a highly complex integrated network', there was a 'whole range of different possibilities' open to participation by the electrical market. But he cautioned 'I'm not going to sell any of this unless 1 can demonstrate firstly that it's value for public money, but secondly that [potential bidders] can also demonstrate to me that they can operate those assets in a way that is superior and better to the way we operate them'.
