This version of the overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1) came into force on 6 January 2026.

This guidance makes it easier for decision makers, applicants and the wider public to understand:

  • government policy on the need for nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIPs)
  • how applications for energy infrastructure will be assessed
  • the way in which impacts and mitigations will be judged
