“The government will introduce mandatory annual oil and gas licensing to strengthen the UK’s energy security and reduce dependence on overseas imports,” a statement published on the British government website said.
Licensing legislation will be announced by King George III of England at the end of this week. It was noted that it would be announced in Charles’ speech. By law, the North Sea Transit Authority (NSTA), which oversees the country’s oil and gas industry, will be required to invite applications for new production licenses every year, according to the government.
“Each annual licensing round will only take place if key tests are passed to confirm the country’s transition to net zero emissions,” the government said.
