The EIUG believes that the draft strategy and policy statement (SPS) does not identify all the most important strategic priorities and policy outcomes for Government in formulating policy for the energy sector in GB, as mitigating the risk of carbon leakage for energy intensive industries is not included. Therefore, the draft does not effectively set the role of Ofgem in supporting government to deliver its priorities. The EIUG’s response lists the abstracts relating to the importance of mitigation this risk from the various government strategies and papers the draft mentions. To avoid (further) misalignment between Government and Ofgem, the SPS should include mitigation of the risk of carbon leakage in its priorities listed and for Ofgem to have regard to mitigating this risk.
