answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/10/2020 answer text <p>There are a number of important factors that will affect the way in which electric vehicle charging demand could impact the electricity system. BEIS officials engage with National Grid over their production of the annual Future Energy Scenarios (FES), which looks ahead to show what the future of energy in Great Britain might look like. The latest FES shows that, under all scenarios by 2025, there will be sufficient generation to meet peak demand. It also shows benefits provided by smart charging of electric vehicles, for example during periods when electricity demand is low or where there is plentiful renewable electricity generation, which can reduce peak demand and overall system costs, as well as benefitting consumers.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 01/10/2020 09:04:44 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2020 answer text <p>There are currently two Significant Code Reviews (SCRs) that are the focus of Ofgem’s work on electricity charging reform: the Targeted Charging Review (TCR) and the Access and Forward-Looking Charges Review (Access SCR). Ofgem indicated in its forward work programme update, which was published on 16th April 2020 and is available at <a href="https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/ofgem-information-energy-licensees-coronavirus-covid-19-response" target="_blank">https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/ofgem-information-energy-licensees-coronavirus-covid-19-response</a>, that work on both the TCR and Access SCR will continue to be progressed.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, National Grid Electricity System Operator has been leading a task force at Ofgem’s request to consider the future of balancing services charges. As part of its reprioritisation in April 2020 of the forward work programme, Ofgem has paused some activities including the Balancing Services Charges Task Force. This decision was taken to enable stakeholders and Ofgem to prioritise the response to coronavirus. The Task Force will resume work in July 2020.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 15/06/2020 16:55:45 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2020 answer text <p>The On-street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS) is a demand-led funding scheme which assists local authorities with the cost of installing chargepoints in residential streets including in local authority owned car parks. The funding available is for 75% of the capital costs of procuring and installing the chargepoint, and is administered by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV). In October 2019, Secretary for State for Transport wrote to all local authorities encouraging them to send their strategies for infrastructure deployment and to take advantage of ORCS funding.</p><p> </p><p>Last month we announced that Government funding will be doubled to £10 million for the installation of chargepoints on residential streets next year. This additional investment could fund up to another 3,600 chargepoints across the country.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 04/03/2020 13:50:49 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
