Article summary

Ofgem has launched a consultation on its draft forward work programme for 2021–2022, which is open for stakeholder responses from 15 December 2020 to 19 February 2021. The draft forward work programme sets out key activities Ofgem intends to undertake under each of its strategic change programmes. In the foreword to the programme, Ofgem CEO, Jonathan Brearley, considered how climate change negotiations will help drive forward decarbonisation of the energy system. He also stressed that Ofgem will enable investment in the low carbon infrastructure needed to deliver net zero and, to 'balance the system', there will need to be 'full chain flexibility, for example, through flexible charging vehicles.'
