Unlocking REMA

Recent challenges have emphasised the recurring importance of the energy trilemma, namely the need to decarbonise the energy system while ensuring energy security and affordability. The government announced its Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) in April 2022 to address these issues. In July, the government published a consultation paper for REMA, presenting a number of proposed reforms.

This paper helps to shed light on this topic, breaking down key proposals and explaining their potential benefits and areas of concern.
