Energy Security and Net Zero Committee: Reviewing the electricity market

Committee hears from witnesses

The Energy Security and Net Zero Committee will take oral evidence on how the UK's electricity market operates and performs. The review examines whether current market rules deliver secure, affordable power supplies and support the transition to net-zero emissions. This is a fact-gathering exercise ahead of potential future policy changes or legislation.

The electricity market shapes energy bills for millions of households and competitiveness for businesses. A major review signals the government may be considering reforms to how power is generated, distributed, and priced—changes that could affect both consumer costs and investment in renewable energy infrastructure.
