# The Feed-in Tariffs and Contracts for Difference (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(a) of that Act) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
These Regulations amend the Feed-in Tariffs Order 2012 and the Electricity Supplier Obligations (Amendment & Excluded Electricity) Regulations 2015, to reflect the fact that the United Kingdom will not be a member State of the EU following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU.
An explanatory memorandum is available with these Regulations on www.legislation.gov.uk.
An impact assessment has not been produced for these Regulations as no impact on business or the public or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
