Final ECCC report published

[ALEO Admin]

The final report by the Energy and Climate Change Committee ECCC, was published on 15 October 2016.

The report recommends that the Government redesign its Capacity Market subsidy scheme, to incentivise innovative energy storage and demand side response (DSR) technologies that could make our energy grid cleaner, more flexible and secure.

The report also sets out energy policy implications of leaving the EU.

The ECCC was disbanded, following the report's publication, on 17 October. Responsibility for scrutinising energy and climate change policy will now fall to the new Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee. This committee was previously known as the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee, prior to the Department of Energy and Climate Change being merged with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills in July 2016.
