	answer	answer answer text <p>Network charging is a matter for Ofgem, as the independent regulator, and it is leading the review of embedded benefits related to Transmission Network Use of System charges. Proposals for changing the embedded benefits regime are currently being progressed through an open industry process, and it is likely that Ofgem will undertake a further consultation and impact assessment in early 2017. It will make a decision on its approach to consultation and assessment when it receives the final modification report. We will engage with Ofgem as part of its assessment process to ensure that Government policy interests are taken into account, including aspects such as the potential effect of reducing the level of embedded benefits on household and business electricity costs (including energy intensive industries) and energy storage.</p>

	answer	answer answer text <p>The 2020 renewable energy target requires the UK to achieve 15% of final energy consumption from renewables by the end of this decade. This requires action to promote renewables in electricity generation, heating and transport. There is a binding 10% sub-target of transport fuels from renewable sources.</p><p>Our most recent report to the European Commission, published on 21 January 2016, sets out progress in renewables deployment over 2013 and 2014 across heating and cooling, transport and electricity sectors. We reported beating our target and reaching 6.3% of final energy consumption from renewables for 2013 and 2014 against an interim target of 5.4%.</p><p>We are making good progress towards the next interim target of an average of 7.47% of energy from renewables across 2015 and 2016. In 2015 8.3% of energy came from renewable sources.</p>
