The current seamless single markets in electricity and gas covering the whole of Great Britain could and should remain in place in the event of independence. Combined regulation of single markets operates in other parts of the EU and could work here is one conclusion of the Commission on Energy Regulation, made up of independent experts drawn from across the UK.
The Commission was asked to look at the arrangements for Regulation of Energy Markets in the event of an Independent Scotland and how a strategic partnership with the rest of GB could be made to work. It was also asked to look at fuel poverty, energy efficiency and the encouragement of renewable investment.
