question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what allowance is made in future costings of renewable energy for weather conditions, such as when wind or solar power are not available.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2014 answer text <p>Estimates of the levelised costs of electricity generation for different technologies are published by DECC. The levelised cost of a particular generation technology is the ratio of the total costs of a generic plant to the total amount of electricity expected to be generated over the plant’s lifetime (per megawatt hour). Where relevant, estimates of electricity generation make an allowance for weather conditions based on estimates of when the relevant energy source is expected to be available, on average, over a plant’s lifetime (load factors). This is the case for intermittent renewable technologies such as onshore wind and solar photovoltaic.</p><p>Levelised cost estimates also depend on other assumptions, including capital costs, fuel and EU ETS allowance prices, operating costs, discount rates and other drivers. This means that there is a range around levelised cost estimates.</p><p>The DECC Electricity Generation Costs (December 2013) report contains DECC’s latest levelised cost estimates.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 04/11/2014 15:13:19 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma attachment 1 file name Electricity Generation Costs Report December 2013.pdf title Electricity Generation Costs Report December 2013

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what will be the effect on the carbon intensity of electricity generated measured in gCO2/kwh of the fitting of emissions abatement technology at West Burton, Cottam and Eggborough coal-fired power stations.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2014 answer text <p>A recent report by independent energy consultants Parsons Brinckerhoff commissioned by this Department estimates that fitting emissions abatement technology needed to comply with the forthcoming industrial emissions Directive would result in a reduction in plant efficiency in the range 0.01 to 0.13 percentage points:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coal-and-gas-assumptions" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coal-and-gas-assumptions</a></p><p>The impact on the carbon intensity of electricity generated by a plant, measured in gCO2/kWh, as a result of fitting emissions abatement technology can be expected to be of a scale that reflects this estimated range of efficiency loss.</p><p>A ‘reference plant’ was used for the purposes of the report and exact changes to efficiency and emissions intensity may vary across the UK’s coal-fired power stations due to their differing designs.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 03/11/2014 14:51:08 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma attachment 1 file name coal_and_gas_assumptions.pdf title Parsons Brinckerhoff: Coal & gas assumptions
