answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2014 answer text <p>The European Commission adopted new guidelines for Energy and Environmental Aid (EEAG) on 9 April. Existing schemes, such as the Feed-in Tariff scheme (FITs), are not required to be brought into line with these new guidelines for as long as the relevant scheme remains covered by its existing EU state aid approval. It would only need to be brought into line if we were to introduce a change to the scheme that would, in itself, require state aid notification, as this would be outside the existing approval. If, after consultation on any alterations to FITs, we were to propose such a change, we would consider the trade-offs and risks for the scheme as a whole before reaching a final policy decision.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Gregory Barker question first answered 12/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1389 label Biography information for Lord Barker of Battle

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2014 answer text <p>As set out in the Solar PV Strategy, published in April 2013, solar PV is an important part of the UK's energy mix. In the EMR delivery plan we estimated a total of between 10 and 12GW of solar photovoltaic across all scales would be installed by 2020. Of this we anticipate that 2.4-4GW will be large scale solar PV installations greater than 5MW.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Gregory Barker question first answered 12/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1389 label Biography information for Lord Barker of Battle
