answer text <p>Ofgem’s Targeted Charging Review is seeking to ensure all parties connected to the electricity network make a fair contribution to the fixed network costs. As was outlined in the ‘After the Trilemma’ speech of 15 November 2018, it is important that we develop an energy system that discourages free riding and ensures a fair distribution of costs.</p><p> </p><p>Network charging is a matter for Ofgem as the independent regulator, and decisions on its Targeted Charging Review are for it to make. However, Government is working to understand the policy implications of Ofgem’s review proposals across a broad range of interests, including renewable energy. Ofgem’s published analysis shows there is a risk that the proposals could affect the investment decisions of some renewable energy projects, and this view is reflected in stakeholder feedback.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Office for Budget Responsibility published estimates of the costs of renewable generation at time of the Budget. Please see table 2.7 of the Supporting document entitled ‘<a href="https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fobr.uk%2Fefo%2Feconomic-fiscal-outlook-october-2018%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C6cf9e21adf4044e6d8d908d676390573%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C636826384603279206&amp;sdata=BxkOgTna6XrjbjhQZ9VqwC9%2FBOTffTW1jWPp4RB04sQ%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">October 2018 Economic and fiscal outlook – supplementary fiscal tables: receipts and other</a>’.</p><p> </p><p>Eligible energy intensive businesses in the UK receive relief from up to 85% of the indirect costs of support for renewable electricity deployment through the Contracts for Difference, Renewables Obligation and small-scale Feed-in Tariff schemes. State aid rules set out that any additional relief above 85% must be limited to an amount that is determined by the business’s Gross Value Added (GVA). A decision to provide additional relief would therefore lead to companies producing the same product receiving different percentage levels of relief depending on their GVA. The Coalition Government consulted on providing additional relief from the indirect costs of renewable electricity as allowed under the state aid rules, but concluded that to do so could distort competition in the UK market. The Government keeps this assessment under review.</p><p> </p><p>Relief from renewable electricity costs is part of a wider package of measures to reduce the cumulative impact of energy and climate change policies on industrial electricity prices for key energy intensive industries. This includes a package of compensation for these industries worth over £850 million since 2013, of which more than £270 million has been provided to the steel sector.</p>
