Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish further guidance on how each criterion for Transitional Energy Certificates will be considered when they introduce the Energy Independence Bill to Parliament.

The government published further information on its approach to the criteria for Transitional Energy Certificates on 21 April.

The Energy Independence Bill was announced in the King’s Speech, in which the government committed to manage existing oil and gas fields for their lifetime and show climate leadership by meeting the manifesto commitments.

Following the conclusion of the legislative process, the North Sea Transition Authority will set out further guidance.
