tabling member constituency	Belfast North

uin	129951
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government guarantee to underwrite the payment of Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) energy grant awards is intended to apply where UK project promoters have been accorded ‘Project of Common Interest’ (PCI) status for their projects under provisions in the Trans-European Networks Energy (TEN-E) regulation, have subsequently applied for and been awarded grants under the linked CEF regulation, but where no satisfactory arrangement has been made on exit as to how to manage outstanding awards. This approach mitigates the risk that these projects do not go ahead because of lack of funding. The majority of the projects in receipt of awards so far are joint electricity interconnector projects with other Member States and will contribute significantly to the UK’s future security of electricity supply.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 07/03/2018 16:18:45 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
