answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2015 answer text <p>Onshore wind has made a valuable contribution to the UK energy mix in recent years but has now reached the point where there is enough capacity in the pipeline to help the UK meet its 2020 renewable commitments. The grace period arrangements that we have proposed are intended to protect investor confidence in the wider renewables sector and balance the interests of onshore wind developers with consumers, who pay the cost of onshore wind generation through their energy bill. DECC will continue to engage with developers, investors and stakeholders as we to implement the manifesto commitment. We will consider carefully the level of investment that developers are likely to bring forward under the proposals announced by my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State on 18 June.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 29/06/2015 15:58:28 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
