I don't think it will be a case of anyone's "turn"
This is not a case of Ofgem appointing a SoLR, rather a business seeking offers with a view to divest what they say is a well-run, fully hedged and efficient segment, albeit no longer considered core to their future business intentions.
Ultimately it will probably be down to the ESB board who will decide if, to who, and on what terms they agree to sell So Energy, based on any offers received1 -
Not seen this reported elsewhere. UK seconds from blackouts on 23rd June with bosses accused of trying to cover it up.
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

Why am I not surprised to have guessed correctly - having read the headline - that it's an article from the Telegraph!

Would you prefer to read it in other media - like say
Just as we have been reliant - at great cost in the past - like the record over £9700/MWh in July 2022 paid on Belgian interconnect - to keep the SE and London grid up and stable - in a similar heat wave.
And that before we got rid of last 4+ GW of GB reliable mainland coal generation in UK - of the over 10GW we have abandoned in the last 6 years UK wide.
Renewables - wind and solar combined have failed to deliver even 1% of the UKs demand in recent past. Just 0.25-0.3 GW across sequential 1/2 hr slots - last Jan. More like 0.6% of rated.
Even if doubled the installations - the theoretical capacity - at the same output factors - you'd still only get 0.5-0.6 GW.
About the equivalent of just one of the 4 turbines at the Ratcliffe on Soar coal plant shut in 2024.
