Background
The Electricity Market Reform (EMR) White Paper sets out legislation in four key policy areas that is intended to accelerate the decarbonisation of the UK power sector, as well as reiterating government policy on market liquidity. It was accompanied by a Renewables Roadmap that specifies the actions the UK will take for renewable development and estimates what may be achievable from each technology.
