The Government remains fully committed to these reforms.

The regulations to enact the remaining reforms, including provision for tariff guarantees and biomethane/biogas tariff uplift, require the affirmative resolution procedure in Parliament. The Department intends to lay these regulations shortly, following pre-legislative scrutiny by the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments (JCSI).
