Abstract
This chapter examines the potential impact of Brexit on UK energy policy. So far, the UK Government has given very limited indication as to how it sees Brexit affecting UK energy policy. However, the key issues are likely to arise in the following areas: market structures, market integration, low carbon energy, other environmental constraints, research and investment funding, and nuclear safety.
