Answer
The Final Scheme Design for the Renewable Electricity Price Guarantee (REPG) was published on 19 September 2025.
Delivering additional renewable electricity generation is complex, demanding a careful balance between security of supply, affordability, and legislative compliance.
I am confident that we are building the right foundations to ensure the scheme delivers the best outcomes for energy consumers and that local communities benefit from the transition to net zero.
