The Electricity Grid (Review) Bill would require the Government and Ofgem to carry out a formal review of the electricity transmission grid and the way its charges are set, and to act on what the review finds. It looks at removing charge differences that depend on where electricity is produced or used, encouraging more renewable energy to be generated, and reducing the chance that charge changes push up bills for consumers.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. The first reading was in October 2021 and the second reading in March 2022; no further stages are listed in the provided information.
