Recommendation
We recommend that the Government produces, within six months, a regulatory framework to allow community energy generators to sell electricity to local consumers. Modification of P441 is a good step to clarify rules and uncertainties and should be approved by Ofgem for a swift implementation in the summer 2026. It, however, does not accommodate all types of local supply and require the participation of licensed suppliers, which is currently scarce. (Recommendation, Paragraph 31)
