The UK’s success in cutting carbon emissions by 38% since 1990 has been largely driven by the decarbonisation of electricity. However, there remains a huge amount of work to do to decarbonise industry, heat and transport and achieve the government’s net-zero commitment by 2050.
This is a challenge faced by governments around the world, but there is a solution that the UK is in an ideal position to pioneer – green hydrogen and green hydrogen-based fuels. Read more
Ready or not, disruption has come to the energy world
The modern utility has to embrace innovation and shake off the conservative, cautious strategies of yesterday. Digital transformation is turning traditional business models upside down, with formerly lucrative markets squeezed and new value chains popping up as customer behaviour evolves.
Start-ups, like teenagers who baffle their parents with their seemingly instinctive knowledge of how to work a smart TV, are dragging utilities into the digital age with their more nimble structure and better grasp of new technologies. But policy and regulation are still mired in the vestiges of the previous ...
The CER recently published two Consultation Papers on the National Smart Metering Programme (NSMP).
1. Steady State Model
2. Time of Use Tariffs
In the July Decision Paper (cer12008), CER outlined the high level requirements for the design and functionality of the National Smart Metering end to end technology solution including metering.
The CER is also consulting on Time of Use Tariffs. The paper seeks the views of the public and CER Stakeholders with regard to a time of use mandate for electricity tariffs, and also considers the issues and opportunities related to time of use tariffs in gas. This paper also sets out examples of how the mandate could be shaped.
Closing Date: 6th September 2013
