To deliver this investors and developers must have the confidence to build.  The next government should press ahead with Electricity Market Reform (EMR); ensuring it remains the key framework through which we achieve the low-carbon transition. EMR has been five years in the making and we’re finally seeing tangible progress – such as auctions for Contracts for Difference and capacity. The next government should extend the Levy Control Framework beyond 2020/21 as soon as possible to signal its ongoing commitment to the current trajectory to investors.
The market must deliver for consumers.
Politicians have generated plenty of heat with their rhetoric on bills and prices – but have shed very little light on the issue.  The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) inquiry represents a good opportunity to identify where improvements might be needed and draw a line under this debate.  Politicians must allow it to get on with its work and respect the findings of the inquiry.  Good policy, not good politics, should drive decisions if markets are to work in the best interests of consumers.
