Latest Consultation Opportunities
Securing the Energy Supply Chain
Energy Security and Net Zero Committee
Deadline for submissions: 5 January 2024
The Committee has launched an inquiry examining the potential for UK manufacturing to play a greater role in the supply chain for low-carbon energy projects and the Government support available. It includes a question on the key concerns around raw materials in energy supply chains and so may be of interest to those working on the ethical sourcing of solar panels.
Energy Bills for Domestic Customers

The Committee has launched an inquiry which will investigate the process of billing customers for their gas and electricity, looking at whether the rules on charging for energy are fair for all. The inquiry's remit covers standing charges, pre-payment meters, social tariffs and discounts for those living closest to energy infrastructure.
