  • Annex D Major Events in the Energy Industry
    Annex D Major events in the Energy Industry 2017 Electricity The foundation stone for the new ElecLink electricity connection between Britain and France was laid in February 2017. The interconnector will run through the Channel Tunnel between Sellindge in the UK and Les Mandarins in France, and will provide 1000MW of electricity, enough capacity to power up to 2 million homes. Energy Efficiency Homes across Great Britain will get extra support to make their homes cheaper and easier to keep warm thanks to reforms that came into force in April 2017. Changes to the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) will make sure energy companies give support to people struggling to meet their heating bills, with plans announced to extend the scheme from April 2017 to September 2018. Smart Meters A Smart Meters bill was included in the Queen’s speech in June 2017 to allow the Government to continue to oversee the successful completion of the rollout of smart meters and protect consumers, leading to £5.7 billion of net benefits to Britain. 2016 Energy Policy The Energy Bill received Royal Assent in May 2016. In summary the Bill: Creates the framework to formally establish the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) as an independent regulator, taking the form of a government company, so that it can act with greater flexibility and independence. It gives the OGA new powers including: access to external meetings; data acquisition and retention; dispute resolution; and sanctions. It also enables the transfer of the Secretary of State of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) existing regulatory powers in respect of oil and gas to the OGA.

  • Annex D Major Events in the Energy Industry
    Annex D Major events in the Energy Industry 2018 Energy Prices In February 2018 the Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap) Bill was introduced to Parliament, which will put in place a requirement on the independent regulator, Ofgem, to cap energy tariffs until 2020. It will mean an absolute cap can be set on poor value tariffs, protecting the 11 million households in England, Wales and Scotland who are currently on a standard variable or other default energy tariff and who are not protected by existing price caps. An extension to Ofgem’s safeguard tariff cap was introduced in February 2018 which will see a further one million more vulnerable consumers protected from unfair energy price rises. Nuclear In June 2018 the Government announced a deal with the nuclear sector to ensure that nuclear energy continues to power the UK for years to come through major innovation, cutting-edge technology and ensuring a diverse and highly-skilled workforce. Key elements include: • a £200 million Nuclear Sector Deal to secure the UK’s diverse energy mix and drive down the costs of nuclear energy meaning cheaper energy bills for customers; • a £32 million boost from government and industry to kick-start a new advanced manufacturing programme including R&D investment to develop potential world-leading nuclear technologies like advanced modular reactors; • a commitment to increasing gender diversity with a target of 40% women working in the civil nuclear sector by 2030. 2017 Energy Policy In October 2017 the Government published The Clean Growth Strategy: Leading the way to a low carbon future, which aims to cut emissions while keeping costs down for consumers, creating good jobs and growing the economy.
