The department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has launched an inquiry into the UK’s Brexit negotiation priorities for energy and climate change policy.
The select committee will examine the implications of the UK’s departure from the European Union and its impact on the energy sector and the UK’s national climate change commitments.
It will also determine which areas should be prioritised in terms of policy.
The inquiry is the department’s first on energy and climate change.
BEIS committee chairman Ian Wright said: “We are keen to hear from stakeholders about what they want from the UK’s exit negotiations and we will want to consider how best to maintain investor confidence and security of supply as we leave the EU.
“We also want to explore how, post-Brexit, the UK can build on its international standing in climate leadership and as a centre for low-carbon innovation.”
The deadline for evidence submission is 16 December.
