On January 10, 2024, the Pensions Regulator published its long-awaited General Code of Practice, which has been laid before Parliament.  The new Code is expected to come into force on March 27, 2024.  TPR also published its final response to the 2021 consultation, which identifies the principal changes made to the final version of the Code. The Code is the culmination of multiple years of work from the Regulator with the aim of creating one clear set of expectations on how occupational pension schemes should be governed and administered. See our previous detailed briefings on the main requirements of the new code (the majority of which have survived the final consultation) and look out for future communications on the finalised details.

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive: building a sustainable future

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (the Recast EPBD) entered into force on 28 May 2024. The Recast EPBD repeals the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010 (the Repealed EPBD). The Repealed EPBD will remain as transposed in the laws of England and Wales, and the Recast EPDB will only be transposed into the national legislation of EU Member States. The overarching aims of the revisions set out in the Recast EPBD reflect the common themes of European climate legislation to speed up the transition to renewables and rapidly reduce energy consumption. We set out below a summary of the key provisions under the Recast EPBD, when the provisions take effect and a comparison with the Repealed EPBD.

The EU Gas and Hydrogen package

On 21 May 2024, the European Council (or Council) adopted the so-called ‘Hydrogen and decarbonised gas market package’ (the Gas Package). The package contains a recast of the 715/2009 gas regulation (Gas Regulation) and a recast of the 2009/73 gas directive (Gas Directive) aimed at reforming the existing EU regulatory framework to support the deployment of renewable and low-carbon gases, in particular hydrogen. As such, it represents a major development in the EU gas market.
