Ofgem response to the State Opening of Parliament

Ofgem CEO Jonathan Brearley said:

“At a very difficult and pivotal time for consumers up and down the country, the Energy Bill provides a clear direction of travel to boost our clean home-grown energy, reduce reliance on global fossil fuels, and drive us towards a secure and carbon neutral future. As laid out today, Ofgem is ready to play our role in this, helping to create and invest in the infrastructure for net zero to thrive, building robust local energy systems and spearheading innovative technologies such as carbon capture and storage. We look forward to working with government and wider industry and NGO partners to make the proposals laid out today a reality.”
