Subsidy Control Act 2022 Implementation

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero are implementing the Subsidy Control Act 2022, which replaced EU state aid rules with a new UK subsidy control regime. Public authorities face uncertainty pending final statutory guidance, particularly regarding subsidy awards under the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, with block exemption orders being developed for specific sectors including research and development.
