Summary
Jonathan Brearley, the head of Britain’s energy regulator, has urged for an end to polarisation and a shift towards an ‘honest conversation’ regarding zonal pricing in the electricity market. This call comes amid a growing dispute over plans to reform the electricity market, with a significant decision expected in the coming weeks on whether to replace the current single electricity market with multiple market zones, each having its own price structure. Brearley’s appeal highlights the need for collaboration amidst these critical discussions affecting the energy sector.
