Summary of the Bill

The Energy Bill contains the legislative provisions required to implement UK energy policy following the publication of the Energy Review 2006 and the Energy White Paper 2007.

This policy is driven by the two long-term energy challenges faced by the UK: tackling climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and ensuring secure, clean and affordable energy.

Key areas

Strengthens the regulatory framework for offshore gas supply infrastructure to enable private sector investment
Creates a regulatory framework to enable private sector investment in Carbon Capture and Storage projects
Strengthens the Renewables Obligation to drive greater and more rapid deployment of renewables in the UK
Strengthens statutory decommissioning provisions for offshore renewables and oil and gas installations to minimise the risk of liabilities falling to the Government
Improves the offshore oil and gas licensing regime in response to changes in the commercial environment and enable the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform to carry out its regulatory functions more effectively
Ensures the operators of new nuclear power stations accumulate funds to meet the full costs of decommissioning and their full share of waste management costs
Introduces amending powers such that Ofgem is able to run the offshore electricity transmission licensing regime more effectively.
