Conclusion
Larger companies have a financial advantage linked to scale, whereas smaller energy projects are often reliant on the development of larger projects and the availability of spare capacity once these have been completed.

Rejected
There are no legislative barriers to community energy groups building and generating electricity within the UK energy market, and so the Government has no plans to bring forward legislative proposals, at this time. As part of a wider review of market mechanisms, we are considering retail market reforms and responses to the Review of Electricity Markets consultation, which closed in October 2022.
