	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2017 answer text <p>The transmission charging regime is the responsibility of Ofgem as the independent regulator. Ofgem’s ‘Project Transmit’ review represented a detailed assessment of the transmission charging arrangements, and its results were implemented in April 2016. The current regime seeks to ensure that the electricity transmission system develops in the most efficient and cost-effective way for consumers, and the evidence indicates that it does not disincentivise renewable energy projects. For example, in Scotland alone, over 12 Giga Watts of renewable energy projects are contracted to connect to the transmission system over the next eight years.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 03/07/2017 10:26:01 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
