Fintan Slye responds to the Energy Bill announced today in the State Opening of Parliament

Fintan Slye, Executive Director of ESO, said:

We welcome the Energy Bill announced today in the State Opening of Parliament, which outlines our vital role at the heart of the future system operator, helping to deliver Britain’s energy security and independence.

This landmark legislation lays the foundations for an energy system that’s clean, reliable and fair, one that enables delivery of the Government’s ambitious Energy Security Strategy and Net Zero commitments, including a net zero electricity system by 2035.
