Supplier Obligation Project


The Sustainable Development Commission has initiated, with Defra’s support, a major new stakeholder and consumer engagement project around the Supplier Obligation post 2011.

The Supplier Obligation is an innovative policy instrument currently being developed by Defra.

It aims to transform the market for the supply of domestic energy, by giving suppliers and consumers a shared incentive to reduce carbon emissions from homes. For more information, please view Defra's website.

Policy development is still in the early stages, and there is an opportunity to identify and explore the range of options that could be developed for reducing household emissions. There is also an opportunity to explore how consumers might respond.
