Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill, what plans he has to (a) revoke, (b) replace or (c) retain the Electricity (Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations 2003.

The regulations provide the legal basis for the Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) scheme. This scheme allows the UK to account for renewable energy on the electricity grid.

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy is reviewing all retained EU law in line with usual policy development to determine whether to repeal, replace or preserve it.

It is the Government's intention that the REGO scheme will continue to exist in the UK, which will require Government regulation.
