	uin	22722
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2016 answer text <p>We do not subsidise fossil fuel generators, any fuel type can participate in the Capacity Market as the scheme is technology neutral. Auctions in the Capacity Market are competitive to ensure best value.</p><br /><p>Capacity market payments to be made to existing fossil fuel generators are £559m from 2014 auction and £714.3mfrom 2015 auction (both in 2015 values).</p><br /><p>The Capacity Market is designed to ensure we take account of low carbon technology supported through other Government schemes before calculating requirements; this ensures we get the most out of existing generation, bringing on new capacity when required. Capacity market payments are to provide missing money in the energy market and are not a subsidy. Capacity providers will also face heavy penalties if they fail to deliver energy when needed.</p><p>The purpose of the Capacity Market is therefore to make sure we keep the lights on, while providing best value to consumers.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 25/01/2016 16:40:31 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
