Renewables Obligation Indexation Changes

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, alongside Scottish and Northern Ireland governments, is amending the Renewables Obligation (RO) indexation mechanism and addressing the end of RO contracts. The Renewables Obligation is a key mechanism requiring electricity suppliers to source renewable energy, with amendments being made across England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland through statutory orders. The changes relate to contract termination impacts and permitted development rights for onshore wind.
