This isn’t a revolutionary, ground-breaking concept. It’s just something that is kind of a repackaging of a market that’s not doing what it’s supposed to.”</strong> </p><p> </p><p>The United Kingdom has finally wrapped up a long-lasting review of its electricity market, opting to preserve the existing nationwide model instead of switching to a regional-based system. </p><p>Reforming the market is essential to meet climate targets, add more renewables into the system and, ultimately, allow the government to hit its clean power goal in 2030. </p><p>But it is still not entirely clear how the existing system will now be reformed. We know that moving to a so-called zonal system will not happen under this review, but there is still a lack of clarity on which policies will be adopted. </p><p> </p><p><strong>“We’re going to push all these levers, we’re going to try and move things around, and instead of actually fundamentally fixing the problem at the source, driving down bills, we are essentially playing Jenga. We are removing blocks from the bottom, repackaging them and putting them back on the top. All the while eroding the integrity of the system so that one thing could just knock it all over.”</strong> </p><p> </p><p>Joining Sam on this episode of the Policy Dispatch is Sam Whitworth, energy market regulation adviser at British energy company Octopus. </p><br><p><strong>Download our award-winning app and enjoy access to all exclusive features.

We are badly lagging behind China but we have done the hard work over the last 20 years to make really rapid electrification possible.”</strong> </p><p> </p><p>Electrification offers a viable path towards decarbonisation. If processes can be switched up to run on electrons, then renewable power generation can be hooked up to a wide range of previously polluting industries and sectors. </p><p> </p><p>Big leaps forward in terms of what can be electrified but also how much of the economy can be electrified have been made but more progress is needed. More clean power sources, more electricity network infrastructure and more investment are all, of course, crucial. </p><p> </p><p><strong>“Without question, electrification is the single lever that will deliver us the furthest along the lines for our 2040 targets. There’s no question.”</strong> </p><p> </p><p>Joining Sam on this episode of the Policy Dispatch is Adrian Hiel, director of the Electrification Alliance, a group that advocates for electricity to play a crucial role in decarbonising Europe’s economy. </p><p> </p><p>Adrian shares his view on why getting more cheap electrons into the European energy system is only a good thing, what needs to be done to turbocharge that process and why electrification might only be gradual at first, but ultimately will happen at pace. </p><p> </p><p>Enjoy the show! </p><p> </p><p>For more on electrification, check out: </p><p> </p><ul><li><a href="https://electrification-alliance.eu/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Electrification Alliance</a> </li><li>The International Energy Agency’s 2025 <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/electricity-2025" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">report</a> on electricity. </li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Download our award-winning app and enjoy access to all exclusive features.
