The Energy and Climate Change select committee (ECCC) is set to look at future challenges facing UK energy and climate change policy.
The ECCC said the inquiry will focus on the challenges specifically facing the next parliament (2015-2020) in what will be this committee’s last before next year’s general election.
It will also look at what an energy sector successfully tackling the energy trilemma will look like in 2030 and beyond.
The ‘energy trilemma’ refers to meeting the 80 per cent reduction in emissions target by 2050 from 1990 levels, as committed to by the UK under the 2008 Climate Change Act, while maintaining security of energy supply and minimising the cost of energy to consumers.
The committee is inviting responses on either issue, with the deadline to submit written evidence being Monday 15 December 2014.
