Impact Assessments (IAs) are a vital part of our decision-making process and provide a valuable framework for assessing the impact of important regulatory policy proposals.
We consulted on proposed revisions to our IA guidance during March–June 2013. The proposals incorporated:
- developments in government guidance (eg Better Regulation Executive, HMT Green Book guidance)
- changes to our statutory responsibilities (eg Equality Act 2010, the Third Package)
- approaches to protecting the interests of future as well as existing consumers, as elaborated by our thinking on strategic and sustainability considerations.
We received responses from 30 organisations, representing industry (suppliers, transmission/distribution operators and their representative bodies), consumer groups and other NGOs, government and academic perspectives. Overall, we received high levels of support from stakeholders (across all sectors), with feedback mainly comprising suggestions for improvement.
