Executive Summary
Energy UK is pleased to see progress on the much needed Marine Recovery Fund proposals. However, Energy UK does not endorse certain parts of the proposals, such as the SNCB being put in a gatekeeper position under the proposals, the 30% additional charge on adaptive management payments, and whether Defra is best placed to be the MRFO. Further work is also needed to align the MRF with the proposals in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill for the Natural Restoration Fund.
