The draft Energy Bill however contains nothing to fill this gap – it only puts in place policies that pay for new low carbon supply and contains nothing that will reduce demand for electricity. Green Alliance has looked at three ways that the government’s Electricity Market Reform could help reduce demand for electricity.
