	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2014 answer text <p>We recently consulted on the rules for the Warm Home Discount to apply in 2015/16. As part this consultation, we proposed amending the Industry Initiatives element of the scheme to allow participating energy suppliers to have the opportunity to provide rebates to residents of Park Homes. Providing support to park home residents in this way would be at the discretion of suppliers, who would also determine the level of support made available. The consultation closed on 13 November and we are currently analysing the responses. We expect to lay draft Regulations in early 2015.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 26/11/2014 14:52:44 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2014 answer text <p>We proposed in a recent consultation to extend, the Warm Home Discount Scheme to park home residents. This would mean that participating energy suppliers would have the option to offer rebates, through the Industry Initiatives element of the scheme, to park home residents who otherwise met the Core Group or Broader Group criteria or have a direct billing relationship with energy suppliers We will announce the outcome of the consultation shortly.</p><p>This was necessary as currently we believe most park home residents do not have a direct billing relationship with energy suppliers. As a result, it has not been possible to provide the Warm Home Discount to them in the usual way.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 10/12/2014 16:27:16 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2015 answer text <p>The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a statutory obligation placed by Government on the largest energy suppliers requiring them to promote and install energy efficiency measures in domestic properties. This includes park homes. DECC statistics show that 257 park homes have benefited from ECO measures up to 31 March 2015). These statistics are available in full here:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/green-deal-energy-company-obligation-eco-and-insulation-levels-in-great-britain-quarterly-report-to-march-2015" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/green-deal-energy-company-obligation-eco-and-insulation-levels-in-great-britain-quarterly-report-to-march-2015</a></p><p>In order to be eligible for the Warm Home Discount, customers must be named on an energy bill with a participating supplier. We recognise that some park home residents will not have such a relationship with a supplier. For this reason, the Government has been encouraging energy suppliers to consider providing assistance to park home residents through the Industry Initiatives elements of the scheme.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 08/07/2015 13:15:30 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2015 answer text <p>Rivers can supply renewable energy in two main ways: they can provide hydro-electric power, and they can provide heat for water-sourced heat pumps.</p><p>The Department published a digital water source heat map in March 2015. The map estimates the potential thermal capacity of rivers, estuaries, canals and coastal sites in England. The map seeks to raise awareness of this potential source of renewable heat which can be utilised through the deployment of water source heat pumps supplying district heating networks and other users.</p><p>The map estimates the total heat capacity from the River Ouse at 505 Megawatts, enough to potentially heat 74,000 homes, subject to environmental and other location-specific consents.</p><p>Water source heat pumps are eligible for support through the Renewable Heat Incentive and heat network projects taken forward by Local Authorities can apply for support from the Heat Network Delivery Unit.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 21/07/2015 11:04:03 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
