uin	195962
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2023 answer text <p>For energy intensive industries (EIIs) particularly exposed to international trade, paying the full amount of Government electricity policy costs can increase the risk of the movement of production to another country due to the different levels of decarbonisation effort (known as “carbon leakage”). It can also increase the cost of electricity relative to other energy sources making it more challenging for users to switch to less carbon-intensive production.</p><p> </p><p>Analysis shows that the Supercharger proposals could reduce average electricity prices for UK EIIs from around £41MWh to around £22MWh, having a direct impact on their competitiveness and reducing global carbon emissions.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 07/09/2023 17:05:47 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
