	tabling member constituency	Falkirk
	tabling member printed	John McNally
	uin	1536
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2017 answer text <p>Interconnection benefits UK consumers through the access of cheaper power from other countries when we need it, which enables greater competition between generators in both markets and improves price efficiency. In the same way that UK generators are charged to access our transmission network, continental generators exporting power to the UK will be subject to a range of charges and taxes in their own countries. UK generators can also benefit from exporting without paying for access to networks in other countries. Levying further charges on the power imported via an interconnector would reduce the benefits of accessing lower priced power from markets in other countries.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 03/07/2017 15:21:01 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
