Position Paper: Ofgem's proposals for UK Energy Policy
Datamonitor, Feb 2010, Pages: 6
In early February Ofgem publish Part 2 of Project Discovery: 'Options for delivering secure and sustainable energy supplies'. The proposals entail a radical change of course in UK energy policy, meriting close analysis by all stakeholders. Given Ofgem's position and influence, anyone involved in the UK energy industry will need to understand these proposals.
Scope
- An overview of the key elements of Ofgem's proposals for overhauling the UK's energy policy
- An assessment of the various options Ofgem has laid out and how these policy choices compare with one another
- A guide to the critical drivers behind Ofgem's revised policy position and a critique of the assumptions which underpin those drivers
Highlights of this title
Ofgem has demonstrated a refreshing willingness to break with convention in its recent proposals: The UK energy regulator has recognised the changed energy landscape and has altered its approach accordingly
Long term price visibility is critical to incentivising private investment in new, low carbon generation; the issue is becoming critical as existing generation reaches the end of its lifespan. Ofgem's proposed minimum carbon price reflects popular opinion within the industry on how to address this problem.
Although Ofgem's capacity for adapting its policy to a changed environment is laudable, the regulator mistakenly assumes tightening near-term gas supplies. Unconventional extraction techniques, increase global LNG supply and a diverse array of supply sources mean the UK is well positioned to import more gas.
