The Ofgem Strategy and Policy Statement will require Ofgem and the Secretary of State to carry out their regulatory functions in a manner which is consistent with securing the strategic priorities and policy outcomes of the Government’s energy policy. Subject to Parliamentary approval, this will include the UK’s legally binding target of net zero emissions by 2050, noting the separate targets in Scotland and Wales.
