Recommendation 10

10 Paragraph: 64

Publish rationale and analysis for energy transition policy changes, assessing net zero impact.

Recommendation
We are nevertheless concerned that recent Government adjustments to the incentives for take-up of these technologies by consumers may affect the capacity of the grid to deliver the benefits of flexibility in the short- to-medium-term: this in turn may affect the willingness of investors to commit to leading and supporting grid development initiatives. It is desirable that, as far as possible, Ministers should publish the rationale behind all decisions on changes to energy transition policies, including the underlying analysis: communication of such decisions should be informed by an assessment of their likely impact on achieving relevant net zero targets.
