That is what six trade organisations have written in a letter they have sent to energy secretary Ed Davey and energy minister Michael Fallon.
The letter – signed by Energy UK; the Renewable Energy Association; the Carbon Capture and Storage Association; Renewable UK; the Combined Heat and Power Association; and the Nuclear Industry Association – says it is “critical” that there is wide engagement with stakeholder across the energy sector.
Membership of the expert groups, who have been consulted on for the design of the EMR policy, “has been restricted”. The coalition of trade associations is calling for the membership of these groups to be broadened out.
Increasing the number of stakeholders who are being engaged with the EMR design process will allow it to be “clearly understood” and “be implemented effectively”.
The letter also calls for policy papers and the timeline Decc is working to be shared to allow industry “to be fully aware of the milestones”.
Decc said that industry and other stakeholders have played a key role in informing policy through EMR expert groups, and in other regular engagements with officials.
A Decc spokesman said: “We have engaged extensively with industry and other partners since we first published our proposals to reform the electricity market, and will continue to do so as our reforms move forward.”
