This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Enquiry and Overhaul of the National Grid Energy Tarriff System.
Develop two wholesale markets - one for renewable and one for brown energy and the ability for the consumer to transparently purchase this energy with a certificate of origin clearly established under the green code transparency.
More details
The UK energy market (designed by civil servants, regulators, politicians and primarily Oil and Gas companies) has a single market price for electricity - from whatever source it is generated, whether that be clean renewable or gas and coal.
Renewable energy costs, wind, solar, geothermal are generally fixed provision of energy cost without too much fluctuation in operating costs as they are not dependant on feed stock such as gas, coal or fuel oil to generate the electricity.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the electricity market, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
There is not a single price for electricity, and electricity providers generate and buy electricity in a range of different ways. Your petition calls on the Government to create two wholesale markets, but it's not clear how this could be achieved.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to review and reform the electricity market, with a view to increasing transparency about how the electricity customers use is generated, if that's something you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
