Following its introduction in July 2022, the Energy Act 2023 (the “Act”) finally gained royal assent on 26 October 2023. Dubbed the “the biggest piece of energy legislation in the UK’s history” the Act is a crucial piece of legislation, including regulation of new energy technologies such as low carbon hydrogen, carbon capture and storage (“CCUS”) as well as laying the foundations for structural regulatory reforms to electricity networks and new regulation of heat networks.
