star this property answer text <p>Part of the purpose of the feed-in tariff (FIT) review consultation was to gather views on the broader economic impact of the proposed changes. We also sought views on whether the scheme should be focussed towards specific groups or sectors which might, for example, include households or communities. We had a strong response from community energy groups via the consultation and workshops.</p><p>The actual impact on the community sector will depend on the options taken forward after all responses to the consultation have been considered. We are currently analysing feedback submitted during the consultation and intend to publish a Government response as soon as possible.</p><p>The purpose of the tax-advantaged venture capital schemes is to provide funding to smaller higher-risk companies that would otherwise struggle to access finance to develop and grow. To ensure that the schemes are well targeted and deliver value for money, the government announced at the Autumn Statement the exclusion of all remaining energy generation activities from the schemes. This follows the exclusion of certain types of energy generation in 2012, 2014 and 2015, including most recently the announcement that the provision of reserve energy generating capacity and the generation of renewable energy benefiting from other government support by community energy organisations would be excluded from the schemes with effect from 30<sup>th</sup> November 2015, as well as from Social Investment Tax Relief when that scheme is expanded. These changes help to ensure that higher risk investments are not crowded out by lower risk investments.</p><br /><p>We will continue to work with the community energy sector over the coming months to develop a joint approach that addresses the priorities of the sector and satisfies our overarching objective of cost-effective emissions reductions.</p><br />

star this property answer text <p>Since 2014, the Contracts for Difference scheme has proven itself highly effective at driving deployment of large-scale renewables while rapidly reducing costs. The scheme has now contracted over 30GW of new low-carbon capacity, including 20GW of offshore wind. The Government continuously reviews the scheme to ensure it remains fit-for-purpose as our electricity system evolves and we work towards our net zero ambitions. In 2022, the Government published a three-phase evaluation of the scheme, which found that the scheme was meeting its objectives. <a href="http://wqa.parliament.uk" target="_blank"><sup>[1]</sup></a></p><p> </p><p><a href="http://wqa.parliament.uk" target="_blank"><sup>[1]</sup></a><a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fevaluation-of-the-contracts-for-difference-scheme&amp;data=05%7C01%7CParliamentary.PQ%40energysecurity.gov.uk%7Cd1f8e4f936ba4caad2d208dbe9e03818%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638360921454431797%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=72IdjwUzDFhwc2riVLiQ9NeO8Ktb7MhHNpeV9cK31yI%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evaluation-of-the-contracts-for-difference-scheme</a></p>
