Jennifer Beckwith, Interim Director, Net Zero, CBI said:
“Businesses will breathe a sigh of relief that the Review of Electricity Market Arrangements has concluded, bringing much needed clarity to the market.
“The government’s decision to reform the national wholesale electricity market is the best outcome to ensure investment in the low-carbon power projects helping to achieve UK energy security, well-paid jobs and regional growth. It reinforces the UK’s position as a leading global market for clean energy.
“Making electricity markets match fit for the clean power transition include vital reforms which business wants to work alongside the government to deliver. Maximising the efficiencies of our power infrastructure will ultimately help reduce the cost of electricity, which continues to be a barrier to business investment.”
