In this submission we respond to the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero consultation on the Strategy and Policy Statement for Energy Policy in Great Britain.
We welcome the re-assertion of key policy objectives and the commitment to a whole system approach described in the strategy. In our response we highlight a number of key areas that need to be addressed including the need for geographical specificity, and a hierarchy of objectives along with the introduction of low and stable prices as one of these objectives.
Regarding the roles of Government, Ofgem and the Future System Operator, further clarity is required, however the creation of the FSO is welcome.
