Energy trade associations from the decentralised and decarbonised renewables sector have warned the government that Ofgem’s charging reforms are putting at risk a more flexible, low-carbon energy system.

In a letter to secretary of state Greg Clark MP, the ADE, Beama, TechUK, the REA, the Solar Trades Association and RenewableUK warn that Ofgem’s decisions on charging reform are “contradictory to government’s ambition to decarbonise the energy system and create a market for flexibility”.
