Rising cost in the UK gas utility segment is one of the major issues confronting industry, as the players are unable to pass on this increase to the consumers.

- The government has introduced the Renewables Obligation The Renewables Obligation (RO)[1] is designed to incentivise the generation of electricity from eligible renewable sources in the United Kingdom. It was introduced in England and Wales and in a different form (the Renewables Obligation (Scotland)) in Scotland in April  to ensure all electricity suppliers produce a specified proportion of their output from renewable sources
