Energy weekly highlights—6 June 2019

Article summary

This week’s edition of Energy highlights includes the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets’ (Ofgem) review into whether the introduction of the cap on default and standard variable tariffs has impaired competition and its consultation on Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution’s (SHEPD) proposals to contribute to planned transmission links to Shetland, Western Isles and Orkney. We also cover the launch of guidance in relation to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s (BEIS) new Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) and the Oil and Gas Authority’s (OGA) award of licences under the 31st Offshore Licensing Round. We provide updates on new content and look at some key upcoming dates for the diary over the next few weeks.
