Deregulation Act 2015

Electricity and Gas (Energy Efficiency Obligations) Orders

927.Paragraphs 20 and 21 of this Schedule revoke three orders which no longer have any operative effect. These three orders imposed an energy efficiency obligation on certain gas and electricity suppliers. The obligations imposed were known as the Energy Efficiency Commitment. The 2001 Order imposed a three year obligation commencing 1st April 2002. The 2003 Order made an amendment to the 2001 Order. The 2004 Order imposed a different three year obligation commencing 1st April 2005. The obligations in the 2001 Order and the 2004 Order have now expired and therefore all three of these orders are being revoked.

928.The revocations form part of the law of England and Wales and Scotland (as do the Orders that are to be revoked), and come into force at the end of the period of 2 months beginning with the day on which the Act is passed.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
