	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to state aid approval to classify remote island wind as a separate technology in Pot 2 of the CfD scheme, whether he will consider other parts of the UK for inclusion in that classification where remoteness and the lack of electricity grid infrastructure or other reasons mean that it is very difficult to develop onshore wind in those areas.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government proposes to define remote island wind projects as being physically remote and requiring subsea connections from the islands to the Main Interconnected Transmission System. This means that these projects incur unavoidable higher transmission costs, which sets them apart from onshore wind projects located elsewhere in the UK. It is on this basis that the government intends to classify remote island wind as a distinct technology in Pot 2 of the Contracts for Difference scheme. The Government is not proposing to broaden the definition of remote island wind projects in the way that the hon. Member suggests.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 18/12/2017 16:31:42 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2017 answer text <p>The Department is currently determining two applications for consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 for onshore wind farms in mid-Wales – the proposed Carnedd Wen and Llanbrynmair wind farms in Powys. Following the quashing of the previous decisions on those applications in December 2015, my Department has carried out further consultation with developers and other interested parties which ended on 4 October 2016. Since then, the responses to that consultation have been carefully assessed and it is anticipated decisions on both applications will be made shortly.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 18/12/2017 14:11:03 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
