Hydrogen Economic Regulatory Framework
Overview
This consultation sets out proposed changes to the economic regulatory framework to best suit the needs of 100% hydrogen pipeline networks, established under the Gas Act 1986. We are seeking stakeholder views on this proposed approach and any further evidence to support decisions and subsequent implementation through legislation, licences, and codes.
The economic regulatory framework is an important enabler for the low carbon hydrogen economy. Low carbon hydrogen can support the decarbonisation of dispatchable power, hard-to-electrify parts of the UK industrial sector and heavy transport, such as aviation and shipping.
The consultation is open to all, but of particular relevance to hydrogen producers, hydrogen users, gas transporters, gas shippers, storage operators, project developers, trade associations, consumer champions, academia, policy think tanks, prospective investors or investment bodies.
