Propose a change

Energy Act 2008

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

34A Cooperation with economic regulator

(1) This section applies where a licence holder also holds a relevant licence. (2) The licensing authority who granted the licence to the licence holder must provide such assistance as the economic regulator may reasonably require in carrying out its functions in relation to the relevant licence. (3) The licensing authority must, in particular, inform the economic regulator if it becomes aware of— (a) circumstances that have arisen, or are likely to arise, in relation to the activities authorised by the licence which, in the opinion of the licensing authority, could affect the carrying on of activities authorised by the relevant licence; (b) circumstances that have arisen, or are likely to arise, in which the licence or a storage permit granted under the licence may be terminated. (4) In this section— “economic regulator” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of the Energy Act 2023 (see section 55 of that Act); “relevant licence” means a licence under section 7 of the Energy Act 2023; “storage permit” means a storage permit within the meaning of— regulation 1(3) of the Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Licensing etc) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/2221), or regulation 1(3) of the Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Licensing etc) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 (S.S.I. 2011/24).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
