The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will undertake a cost benefit analysis of wholesale electricity market reform options as soon as possible.

We have taken a decision on the Review of Electricity Market Arrangements reform options based on a range of evidence and come to a judgement on the best route to deliver a fair, affordable, secure and efficient energy system. We will publish updated analysis later this year.
