We're seeking views on proposed reforms to the Electricity Capacity Market to strengthen security of supply and provide greater clarity for investors around the transition to net zero.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
This consultation builds upon the Call for Evidence (CfE) published in July 2021 which sought views on proposals to better align the Capacity Market (CM) with the government’s net zero targets and improve delivery assurance across the scheme.
The proposed reforms set out in this consultation represent the next step in the evolution of the CM and have been considered in light of the Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) programme.
The main policy proposals fall into 3 categories:
- strengthening security of supply
- aligning the CM with net zero
- other improvements to the CM
