Get ready for rationalisation of the UK’s energy bodies. Pressure is growing to reduce costs and improve efficiency in administering schemes such as the Renewables Obligation, feed-in tariffs (FITs) and the Green Deal. Up to 30 organisations are involved, costing in total around £500 million annually. And although some organisations oversee several programmes – such as Ofgem’s E-Serve function – none were set up with a view to consistency across the programmes. That makes them more costly to
administer and requires extra effort and time from users.
