Energy Bill Amendment Will Make it Easier for Independent Renewable Energy Generators to Compete in the Market, Says Government

An amendment to the Energy Bill will make it easier for independent generators of renewable electricity to sell their power to suppliers, the Government has announced. 

It will assist in dealing with industry concerns that the removal of the 'supply obligation' in the Renewables Obligation (RO) will undermine the market for power purchase agreements (PPAs)

Energy Bill introduced to UK parliament

Described as a “once in a generation opportunity” to drive low-carbon economic growth by Energy Secretary, Ed Davey, the Energy Bill has been introduced to parliament today after repeated delays.

In a statement to the House of Commons, Davey said: “The Energy Bill will attract investment to bring about a transformation of our electricity market, moving from predominantly a fossil-fuel to a diverse low-carbon generation mix.”
