	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/09/2015 answer text <p>As set out in the consultation document [1], the evidence indicates that deployment for solar PV up to and including 5 megawatt (MW) is increasing substantially compared to previous estimates. The updated estimates now range from 800 MW to 2 gigawatts (GW) each year in 2015/16 and 2016/17 compared to previous estimates of 300 to 500 MW.</p><p>As a result of the proposed government intervention to close the Renewables Obligation to rooftop and ground-mounted solar projects below 5MW from 1 April 2016, annual household electricity bills will be lower. Consumers are expected to save between £0.20 and £0.60 in 2016/17, and between £0.50 and £1.20 in 2017/18. (These figures are round to the nearest decimal point are in real 2014 prices). In 2015/16 consumers would not make any savings as the closure will take effect from 1 April 2016.</p><p>Without the proposed intervention, customer bills would therefore be higher.</p><p><em><strong>[1]</strong></em><em> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/changes-to-financial-support-for-solar-pv" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/changes-to-financial-support-for-solar-pv</a></em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom grouped question UIN 8885 question first answered 15/09/2015 14:02:23 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
