PGES Energy Policy Priorities – 2020
PGES initially set out defined Energy Policy Priorities to reflect the immense changes before the industry as a result of the Brexit referendum and the consequential creation of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Policy.
These have been reviewed as a result of the CoVid Pandemic and the need to Recover to Net Zero.
A further workshop was held in 2022 to reassess the priorities under the Chairmanship of Lord Whitty.
See the full listing here.
PGES Top priorities for Energy Policy are:
- Make a plan, commit to the plan, stick to the plan and bind successors to the plan
- Education and participation – for legislators and consumers
- The return of the Energy Trilemma
- Market design whole system and operation – allow market pace changes
- Social burden – a rational approach
- Future of gas – give confidence
- Energy as a consumer activity – this one’s for all of us!
- Investments need certainty – give confidence, it reduces the cost
These eight simple points represent the wishes of the whole group and are supported by proposals for short-, medium- and long-term policies.
