	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2014 answer text <p>The Hinkley Point C strike price in 2012 prices is £89.50/MWh indexed to the Consumer Price Index. This price benefits from upfront reduction of £3/MWh built in on assumption that EdF will be able to share first of a kind costs of EPR reactors across Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C sites. If the final investment decision is not taken on Sizewell C, the Strike Price for Hinkley Point C will be £92.50/MWh in 2012 prices. The Department has not restated the strike price in October 2014 prices.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 24/10/2014 13:29:44 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

	tabling member constituency	Rutherglen and Hamilton West

	uin	218062
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>The Department has not made an estimate of the additional cost to suppliers of carrying the liability in the event of one participant defaulting. In the first instance each supplier is required to post credit cover which will be used to cover a missed payment. In the unlikely event a defaulted payment is mutualised across other suppliers, the actual amount would depend on the overall cost of the capacity market payments in that year, and the share of these costs due to be paid by the defaulting supplier. Electricity suppliers have been consulted on these arrangements.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 15/12/2014 17:57:21 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
