Danish Presidency of Council of the EU publishes presidency programme

The Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU has published its programme for 1 July to 31 December 2025, outlining its priorities and direction under the presidency's focus on ‘A strong Europe in a changing world’. The presidency aims to strengthen the EU’s capacity to act autonomously amid growing global instability by focusing on security, competitiveness and the green transition. Legislative efforts will prioritise bolstering defence, economic resilience, and climate neutrality. Additionally, the presidency seeks to reduce regulatory burdens and promote EU enlargement. Full details are available in the programme document and more details can be found below.

Ofgem announces approval of major investment programme to bolster energy security and clean energy transmission

Ofgem has announced it has provisionally authorised an initial £24bn investment programme to enhance energy security and modernise Great Britain’s energy infrastructure. The programme allocates more than £15bn to ensure the safe operation of gas transmission and distribution networks, and approximately £10.2bn to upgrade the high-voltage electricity network—the largest grid expansion since the 1960s. Although the programme is projected to increase network charges on bills by £104 by 2031, the net cost impact is estimated at around £24 per year. This increase is offset by significant consumer savings anticipated from reduced constraint costs and improved utilisation of renewable energy. This initiative will enable the connection of up to 126 gigawatts of clean power by 2030 through 80 nationwide transmission projects. Final decisions on the investment will be made by the end of 2025 following the current consultation process.

Ofgem announces modifications to gas and electricity licence conditions and PCFIs

The changes, effective from 26 August 2025, follow a consultation that closed on 24 May 2025 and received 13 responses from distribution network operators. Key changes include: modifications to tax reconciliation statement submission dates, the introduction of new Special Licence conditions for the Transitional Centralised Strategic Network Plan 2 (tCSNP2), accompanied by amendments to vulnerability allowances and provisions to recover National Energy System Operator (NESO) transition costs. The changes are designed to improve regulatory frameworks, enhance collaboration between networks, and support the transition to future system operations.
