UK Emissions Trading Scheme: Business and Regulations Impact Assessment (BRIA)
This Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment (BRIA) covers the potential impacts on Scottish businesses due to upcoming changes to the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).
7. Competition Assessment
The impact of these changes on business competitiveness is hard to quantify as the carbon price is just one factor of many impacting on competitiveness. It is not thought that these measures will directly impact competition in terms of limiting the range or numbers of businesses operating in the market. None of the wider proposals are deemed to risk limiting the range or numbers of suppliers.
We have not identified any impact on competition associated with these changes.
