Recommendation 40

In order to deliver the Government’s target of a zero carbon electricity system by 2035, we further recommend that greater consideration is given to smart tariffs in the revised Energy Retail Market Strategy. Specifically, we ask the Government to consider how time of use tariffs can be supported while the necessary system reforms are being carried out. Consideration should also be given as to how to support the energy supplier market in engaging different customer groups in net zero and ensure sufficient protections are in place for vulnerable customers.
