The event Transforming the UK’s electricity market deals with the situation one
year on from the Reform White Paper and the Ofgem Review. It will take
place on July 12, 2012. Delegates will assess the ongoing transformation of the UK’s electricity system. Planned sessions focus on the progress that is being made, and the next steps in delivering the key elements of the market reform package including discussion on taking forward the Emissions Performance Standard and Carbon Price Floor for decarbonising electricity, and the proposed Capacity Mechanism for ensuring the future security of electricity supplies.
