Brexit will have an impact on the funds for energy projects, to what extent remains to be seen. Furthermore, Analysts have warned short-term carbon prices will be volatile due to Britain’s uncertainty to leave the EU. Without a Brexit deal in place, Britain automatically leave the Emissions Trading System (ETS) and would replace its costs with a carbon tax which is set at 16 pounds a tonne as stated in Reuters.
The impact, even though Britain abides by its international obligations to cut carbon emissions, “could hit the price of EU carbon permits as Britain is currently such a big buyer.” It’s futile to think that when Brexit was instigated, the effects on the energy market to date would be positive.
