The Government will not be issuing a response to a consultation on the strategic priorities of a previous Government.

A Strategic Policy Statement is a discretional policy tool, introduced under the Energy Act 2013, for use by my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State.

The Government has absolute confidence in Ofgem, as the independent GB energy market regulator, to carry out its statutory objectives and functions, to protect existing and future energy consumers, and to deliver a raft of policies focused on decarbonisation, ensuring security of supply and lowering costs for consumers.
