(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(a) of that Act) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
These Regulations amend the Feed-in Tariffs Order 2012 and the Electricity Supplier Obligations (Amendment & Excluded Electricity) Regulations 2015, to reflect the fact that the United Kingdom will not be a member State of the EU following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU.
