Whilst that means that the Northern Ireland Executive can develop its own policies on onshore wind, it is this government’s position that any policy which results in additional support to onshore wind should not be funded by the GB consumers.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 26/11/2015 12:34:53 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

The proposals made clear that FITs generation tariffs are set taking into account: bill savings to the generator; value of power exported; and value of the generation tariff balanced against the costs of deploying, operating and maintaining the installations. Detail on the potential value of bill savings was set out in the impact assessment which was published alongside the FITs consultation.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 26/11/2015 12:31:14 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2015 answer text <p>Under the CfD consumers will not pay anything for electricity until the plant is powering their homes and businesses. Payments under the CfD are expected to make up around £10 (real 2012 prices) of the average household energy bill in 2030. This should be seen in the context of Hinkley Point C meeting 7% of the UK’s energy needs, and set against our estimate that a new nuclear programme could reduce average household bills by up to around £30 in 2030. This is calculated by comparing the costs for consumers in a modelled scenario for the future electricity mix with Hinkley Point C and a further role out of the new nuclear programme with the cost for consumers in a scenario where there are no new nuclear power stations by 2030. Savings could be higher or lower depending on changes in the cost of alternative generation technologies and what mix of technologies would ultimately be used.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 26/11/2015 12:34:11 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2015 answer text <p>We currently estimate that a new nuclear programme could reduce average household bills by up to around £30 (real 2012 prices) in 2030. This is calculated by comparing the costs for consumers in a modelled scenario for the future electricity mix with Hinkley Point C and a further roll out of the new nuclear programme with the cost for consumers in a scenario where there are no new nuclear power stations by 2030. Savings could be higher or lower depending on changes in the cost of alternative generation technologies and what mix of technologies would ultimately be used. Earlier analysis had identified a higher saving, but other low carbon energy technologies have become far more cost competitive which has brought down the cost.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 26/11/2015 12:33:27 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
