Article summary

This week’s edition of Energy highlights includes analysis on hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking’) in the UK and the potential challenges ahead; and analysis of the decision in Becker v Hertfordshire County Council, to rule that planning permission granted for the maturing of compost was unlawful. It also includes the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets’ (Ofgem) hotly anticipated proposal for an energy price cap and their announcement to modify all electricity transmission licences in the wake of the future unbundling of National Grid Electricity Transmission’s (NGET) transmission owner and system operator functions. In addition, the CEO’s of ten leading energy companies and trade associations have signed a letter calling for continued co-operation between the UK and the EU regarding the implementation of the Paris Agreement after Brexit, and power companies have also urged politicians to avoid imposing tariffs on energy trading post-Brexit.
