The bill would require the government to create an export guarantee scheme to buy electricity from small, low-carbon generators and to set a market-based tariff for those exports. It would also allow these small producers to sell electricity directly to people in their local area and would place duties on the energy regulator to support these changes. The aim is to back small-scale clean energy and give communities more local control over power.
