tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL998
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/07/2017 answer text <p>Solar PV is a UK success story. In 2013 we estimated that solar capacity would reach 10-12GW by 2020. We now expect Government support to bring forward around 13 GW by 2020. The Feed-in Tariff remains open to solar PV which provides an incentive for businesses to invest in rooftop solar.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 27/07/2017 13:33:03 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

question text	Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the benefits and costs to the UK of membership of the Euratom Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy.
tabling member printed	Lord Lester of Herne Hill
uin	HL1006
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/07/2017 answer text <p>The EU’s Joint Undertaking for ITER (F4E) funds the €540m p.a. EU contribution to the ITER programme. This is funded primarily through the EU central budget with small additional membership fees from member states. The UK pays a €290,000 annual membership fee directly to F4E.</p><p> </p><p>UK membership of F4E gives UK scientists and engineers the opportunity to work at, and in partnership with, ITER on development of fusion as a clean, safe and virtually inexhaustible energy source. It also gives the UK access to intellectual property developed at ITER and helps the UK maintain its position as a world leader in fusion technology.</p><p> </p><p>F4E membership has enabled the UK to win high-value ITER construction contracts, with opportunities to bid for significantly more during the construction which has a current budget of €14.4bn overall and will be complete in 2025.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 27/07/2017 13:32:12 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton
