On 28 March 2025 the government assumed a Caretaker role. Information on websites maintained by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water will be published in accordance with the Guidance on Caretaker Conventions until after the conclusion of the caretaker period.
The CRIS, which was open for feedback for over 3 months:
examined options for expanding the scope of regulations and raising the minimum energy performance standards (MEPS)
included cost benefit modelling
included public information sessions, held in mid-November 2024.
Eighteen submissions were received from industry and indicated more industry consequences and concerns than were assumed in the CRIS. We will be engaging further with stakeholders as we draft the DRIS and update the Cost : Benefit modelling.
We expect to provide the DRIS to Energy Ministers in the second half of 2025.
