<p>The Government has passed legislation which will enable the continued operability
of the Feed-in Tariffs scheme, Contracts for Difference scheme, and the Renewables
Obligation in the event of a no deal exit from the EU.</p><p> </p><p>In the Clean
Growth Strategy, government confirmed it would be making up to £557 million (2011/12
prices) of annual support available for further Contracts for Difference, providing
industry with the certainty they need to invest in new projects.</p><p> </p><p>The
Department’s guidance states that in a no deal scenario, the government has legislated
to ensure that Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin issued in EU countries, including
for combined heat and power will continue to be recognised. This will allow electricity
suppliers to continue to use EU Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin and will ensure
that existing supply contracts are not compromised, in so far as these contracts depend
upon Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin. This position will be kept under review.</p>
