Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when his Department last provided a policy and position paper to Ofgem; and when his Department plans next to provide a policy and position paper to Ofgem.

The power to designate a Strategy and Policy Statement (SPS) for energy policy, that Ofgem must have regard to, was enacted by the Energy Act 2013.

The Government has consulted Scottish and Welsh Ministers on a draft SPS and taken their comments into account. The Government intends to publicly consult on an updated draft soon.
