Electricity market reform
Examining reforms necessary to achieve the government's objectives on decarbonisation, renewables energy, security of supply and affordability
On 12 July the government published Planning our electric future: a white paper for secure, affordable and low-carbon electricity, which provides a high level summary of responses to this consultation and includes a list of respondents in Annex A. Individual responses to the consultation will be made available on this page by the end of July.
The electricity market reform (EMR) consultation document is the statutory consultation on the government’s preferred electricity market framework. The consultation period ran for 12 weeks to March 10, 2011. The white paper, legislative proposals to implement the new electricity market arrangements, was launched on 12 July 2011.
In his annual energy statement to Parliament on 27 July 2010, the Secretary of State announced that the government will publish a consultation document on electricity market reform to examine the reforms necessary to achieve the government’s objectives on decarbonisation, renewables energy, security of supply and affordability.
The electricity market reform project will develop and deliver a new market framework that will enable the cost effective delivery of secure supplies of low-carbon energy.
We welcome representations from stakeholders to help us build the evidence base. Government will proactively make information on the project available so stakeholders are aware of progress and able to feed in information.
