The Secretary of State introduced regulations creating an open data scheme for motor fuel prices, establishing an aggregator, imposing data submission duties on fuel traders, granting enforcement powers to the CMA, and setting financial penalties and procedural appeals.

These Regulations, made under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, establish a mandatory open data scheme requiring motor fuel traders in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland to register their petrol filling stations and report the selling price of motor fuels to an appointed third-party 'aggregator'.

Motor fuel traders must provide this price information, including any subsequent changes within 30 minutes of occurrence, for public dissemination via an Application Programming Interface (API) and other means.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is responsible for enforcement, with powers to issue compliance notices, conduct investigations, impose financial penalties up to 1% of worldwide turnover, and pursue criminal sanctions for false information or obstruction.

The Secretary of State made an Order amending the 2015 Development Consent Order for the Dogger Bank Creyke Beck Offshore Wind Farm to allow separate consideration and enforcement of requirements for Project A and Project B.

This Order amends the Dogger Bank Creyke Beck Offshore Wind Farm Order 2015, granted under the Planning Act 2008, following an application for a non-material change.

The Secretary of State has made this amendment to allow the two constituent parts of the project, referred to as Project A and Project B, to be treated separately for the purpose of discharging and enforcing various conditions, particularly concerning abandonment, decay, removal, noise limits, and specific requirements placed on the distinct components of the offshore and onshore works.

* The Clean Heat Market Mechanism Regulations 2025 were amended to confirm MCS as the certification scheme, adjust hybrid heating definitions, and raise the low-carbon heat target to 8% starting April 2026.

These Regulations amend the Clean Heat Market Mechanism (CHMM) Regulations 2025, which established the mandatory scheme requiring boiler manufacturers to meet escalating targets for installing low-carbon heat pumps proportionate to their fossil fuel boiler sales in the UK. The amendments officially designate the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) as the sole approval scheme for CHMM compliance, update the criteria for what qualifies as a hybrid heating system, and most significantly, increase the required low-carbon heat installation target for scheme years beginning April 1, 2026, from 6% to 8% of relevant boiler sales.

* Extended the electricity transmission licence exemption for the Dogger Bank A Offshore Wind Farm for one year, from December 2025 to December 2026.

The Secretary of State made this Order under powers granted by the Electricity Act 1989 to amend the existing 2025 Order concerning the Dogger Bank A Offshore Wind Farm.

This amendment specifically extends the date until which the project is exempt from the requirement to hold an electricity transmission licence, changing the expiry date from December 19, 2025, to December 18, 2026, and the Order applies to England, Wales, and Scotland.

The Regulations brought into force the remaining provisions of Section 304 of the Energy Act 2023 concerning excluded disposal sites on December 2nd, 2025, as part of the fourth commencement order for the Act.

These Regulations, made by the Secretary of State under the powers in the Energy Act 2023, specify that provisions of that Act will commence on 2nd December 2025; specifically, Regulation 2 brings into force the remaining parts of Section 304, which amends the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 to establish a pathway for excluding specific installations used for disposing of nuclear matter from the existing nuclear third party liability regime.

The Regulations prescribed conditions for nuclear disposal site exemption from the NTPL regime and amended the 2017 regulations to define disposed matter as excepted matter.

These Regulations establish the necessary technical conditions for certain nuclear installations used for the disposal of nuclear matter to be exempt from the strict liability provisions of the Nuclear Third Party Liability (NTPL) regime established under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965.

The requirements include limiting the effective dose to the public off-site to no more than 1 millisievert and ensuring the risk of criticality on the site is negligible; furthermore, the legislation amends previous regulations to define nuclear matter disposed of on such an exempted site as 'excepted matter,' thereby clarifying liability responsibilities.

The Secretary of State enacted The Net Zero Teesside (Amendment) Order 2025, making non-material changes to the Net Zero Teesside Order 2024, including introducing new work items and amendments to land acquisition powers and supporting documentation.

The Secretary of State has used powers under the Planning Act 2008 to implement a non-material change to the Net Zero Teesside Order 2024, formalised by this Order taking effect on October 29th, 2025.

This amendment updates definitions within the Order, specifically introducing and refining terms like 'book of reference,' 'Order land,' and introducing 'supplemental land.' Key changes involve adding 'Work No. 6A' (above-ground installations) to the authorised development, restricting the undertaker's powers to survey or compulsorily acquire interests in the new 'supplemental land,' and updating several schedules related to certified documents, protective provisions, and land plans.

The Mona Offshore Wind Farm (Correction) Order 2025 was enacted to formally correct various errors and omissions found within the principal Mona Offshore Wind Farm Order 2025.

The Mona Offshore Wind Farm (Correction) Order 2025 formally amends the original development consent order granted for the Mona Offshore Wind Farm under the Planning Act 2008.

This Order, made by the Secretary of State following a request from the applicant, addresses specific correctable errors and omissions within the original Order by substituting, inserting, or omitting text detailed in the accompanying Schedule.

It comes into force on October 24, 2025, ensuring that the existing planning permissions reflect the intended legal provisions regarding technical definitions, consent procedures, environmental considerations, and rights of way relating to the wind farm development.
