As the electricity markets undergo a huge overhaul as part of REMA, the End User Forum (EUF) will explore the implications for end users of sending more efficient locational signals in electricity markets, and what a positive outcome of any reform would look like.
We set out the different ways in which innovation could be encouraged in the utilities sector, distinguishing between three different timeframes and addressing technological, consumer facing, process based, commercial and institutional aspects, that all are important in the energy, water and telecoms sectors.
As the Government develops its review of Economic Regulation, many of the lessons from our report on policy and regulation of utilities from two years ago still hold true; the need for an overhaul of regulatory processes to take account of long-term issues remains vital
The Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) is the largest programme of reforms to the electricity market in a generation.

Many responsible businesses and councils are thinking about how they can best help during the current energy and cost of living crisis. Zoe McLeod, Sustainability First Policy Director, outlines four key actions that organisations should take to maximise social benefit while also supporting their own long-term financial sustainability
This briefing summarises a short literature review of culture and organisational change in private firms and public bodies (government departments and regulators), and in public utilities. This research is part of our Sustainability Principles Project, which is looking at how a principles-based approach to change can support public utilities, and potentially actors in other sectors, in the move to a more sustainable future.
A coherent response is needed to the energy crisis which is both fair and delivers net zero. We set out the need to actively engage civil society and argue for urgent energy efficiency investment. We explore options for providing social protection both short-term to help people this winter and medium to longer-term to ensure retail energy markets are fit for the future.
This briefing paper aims to stimulate discussion about the principles that should underpin decision making by policy makers, regulators, companies, investors and others in essential services to support the transformational shift taking place towards sustainability.
This Briefing Paper explains why a principles-based approach is important to support the transformational shift taking place towards sustainability. It establishes the needs case for our Sustainability Principles Project and how this work will tackle this issue in essential services.
