answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2018 answer text <p>Renewable technologies now form a significant part of the UK’s energy mix, and the recent Clean Growth Strategy sets out policies to continue the expansion of the low carbon electricity sector. Coal to biomass conversions are a transitional technology in the decarbonisation of electricity, with all support under the renewables obligation and contracts for difference (CfD) schemes ending in 2027.

No decisions have been made on further CfD auctions for the Pot 1 technologies.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 01/02/2018 11:48:03 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
