answer text <p>Energy suppliers are required as part of their licence conditions to take all reasonable steps to install smart meters in domestic and smaller non-domestic premises by the end of 2020. Ofgem is responsible for ensuring compliance with this obligation and monitor suppliers to ensure that they abide by their licence conditions. If suppliers are found in breach of these conditions, Ofgem can issue an enforcement order to ensure suppliers comply with their licence conditions, and impose financial penalties of up to 10 per cent of the licensee’s turnover.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Smart meters will operate on a secure machine-to-machine system that only authorised parties, such as energy suppliers and network companies, can access. A robust smart metering security architecture has been established to prevent unauthorised access. This was developed in consultation with leading experts from within industry and Government and is underpinned by appropriate regulatory and technical security requirements.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The recent Strategic Environmental Assessment for further onshore oil and gas licencing, carried out by AMEC on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change, estimated that between 10,000 and 25,000 cubic metres of water would be required for hydraulic fracturing of each well and it is predicted that each well might be re-fractured once during its lifetime.</p><p>In this context, Water UK, which represents the water industry, and UK Onshore Operators Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which ensures their respective members will cooperate throughout the shale gas exploration and extraction process in order to minimise adverse effects on water resources and the environment.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The evidence is set out in the consultation impact assessment and draws on various sources, including: data from Ofgem on the amount of solar PV capacity already accredited under the RO or which has applied for accreditation; the Renewable Energy Planning Database, which contains substantial information on the solar PV development pipeline; and various industry sources suggesting that there is significant potential for further expansion in the sector before the scheduled closure of the RO in April 2017. The consultation is helping to refine the evidence and we will update our estimates of potential deployment and budget impacts in the final impact assessment.</p><p>A copy of the consultation document and consultation Impact Assessment are available on DECC’s web page:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-changes-to-financial-support-for-solar-pv" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-changes-to-financial-support-for-solar-pv</a>.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Following the changes made in 2011, the solar PV industry has enjoyed huge success in the UK. The industry is now worth £2.2 billion a year. This owes much to carefully-controlled Government support, and at the same time tariff changes which protected consumers from a £50 a year bill rise by 2020.</p><p>In good faith, we proposed what we believed to be lawful changes to subsidies, in the interests principally of protecting consumers from rising bills at a time when windfall profits meant that the solar PV industry was booming, and we do not have the information necessary to estimate the value of the claims.</p><p>There are elements of the judgment which we will be seeking permission to appeal.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
