Energy weekly highlights—18 September 2025

This week's edition of Energy weekly highlights includes: an announcement from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) on the Atlantic Partnership for Advanced Nuclear Energy agreement between the UK and US governments, aimed at accelerating nuclear power station development through streamlined regulatory processes, and its publication of a statement of strategic priorities for Great British Energy (GBE). In addition this week, Ofgem published its tenth annual report on the operation of the Capacity Market, covering the period from 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2025.

Ofgem launches consultation on draft Smart Meter Communication Licence

Ofgem has launched a consultation on the draft Smart Meter Communication Licence for the Successor Licensee. The draft Licence reflects decisions from the Data Communications Company (DCC) Review, including a not-for-profit model, ex-ante cost control regime and independent governance arrangements. It also updates and clarifies conditions from the previous Licence. The Licence sets out the mandate and operating scope for the Successor Licensee, covering service procurement and delivery and performance monitoring and reporting. The consultation closes on 7 November 2025. Responses will inform the final Licence and the regulatory framework that will govern DCC’s operations from 2027 onwards.

Lords Committee seeks clarity on proposed UK–EU SPS area and ETS link

The House of Lords European Affairs Committee has written to the Cabinet Office about proposed UK–EU negotiations on a common sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) area and linking emissions trading systems (ETS). The Committee requests clarity on Parliament’s role in monitoring any dynamic alignment, the negotiation timetable and go-live dates, and expected UK financial contributions to relevant EU agencies and systems. It also asks how a UK–EU ETS link would interact with the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU CBAM) and the UK CBAM, given possible start dates in 2026 or 2027. The letter, dated 17 September 2025, seeks periodic updates and options to avoid EU CBAM charges if an ETS linkage is not in place in time.

Commission consults on minimum sustainability requirements for public net zero technology contracts

The European Commission has launched a consultation on a draft implementing regulation that will establish minimum environmental sustainability requirements for public procurement of clean technologies under the EU Net Zero Industry Act. The regulation will set mandatory requirements for contracting authorities and entities engaged in procurement procedures for net-zero technology contracts, including wind power, heat pumps and grid technologies. The implementing regulation supplements Regulation (EU) 2024/1735 and aims to standardise environmental sustainability criteria in public procurement across the EU. The consultation is open for feedback from 16 September 2025 to 14 October 2025.
