Details
One of the priority areas under the UK government’s £1 billion Net-Zero Innovation Portfolio (
NZIP) is energy storage and flexibility. As part of this, the alternative energy markets programme is exploring what an alternative system of network and policy price signals might look like, whether those signals could be trialled in a real-world environment, and how to undertake any potential trial.
To facilitate cost-effective decarbonisation, upstream network and policy charges (e.g. renewable support scheme costs) might be recovered differently in the future, for example in ways that more accurately reflect the system costs and carbon emissions impacts that result from consumer energy choices.
