Recharge Magazine said a source had told them the delay was partly down to minor issues in the planning process, but also "partly due to industry uncertainty over the timing of projects, in the context of the UK government's electricitymarket reform (EMR) programme".
But the UK Government must deliver its ElectricityMarket Reform programme quickly and effectively to give confidence in the future market and allow companies to plan and invest for a future secure, stable and broad based electricity generating mix.
The electricitymarket reforms (EMR) proposed by the UK government as part of the UK Energy Bill are aimed at incentivising investment in low carbon energy while also ensuring the security of electricity supply.
