The Government continues to provide considerable support for investment in renewables Since 2014 the Contracts for Difference scheme has enabled around 26GW of new low-carbon capacity, with generators receiving almost £6 billion net in price support. The UK has reduced emissions faster than any other G7 nation, with 41% of our electricity coming from renewables last year, compared to 22% in the USA.<\/p>"}

As announced at Autumn Statement from January 2023 a 45% tax is being levied on the extraordinary returns being realised by certain electricity generators. At Spring Statement it was forecast to raise around £14 billion over the next 5 years which will help fund support for households and business with their energy bills as well as vital public services.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Electricity Generator Levy (EGL) and the Electricity Profits Levy (EPL) are designed very differently. Unlike the EPL, the EGL is not a tax on a comprehensive measure of profit that is calculated after recognition of total revenues and costs. Instead, it is payable on the portion of revenues that exceed the long-run average for electricity prices. Rather than providing an investment allowance the government has taken into account the potential impact on investment in the design of the levy with the benchmark price, £75/MWh, being set at 1.5 times the pre-crisis level and indexed to CPI.<\/p>"}

The Energy Bills Discount Scheme (EBDS) will provide all eligible businesses and other non-domestic energy users with a discount on high energy bills for 12 months from 1 April 2023 until 31 March 2024. It will also provide businesses in sectors with particularly high levels of energy use and trade intensity with a higher level of support.<\/p>
<\/p>
EBDS will help those locked into contracts signed before recent substantial falls in the wholesale price manage their costs and provide others with reassurance against the risk of prices rising again.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government is aware that some businesses are having difficulties securing the benefit of falling wholesale prices from their energy suppliers. The Government welcomes Ofgem\u2019s recent update on their investigation into the non-domestic retail market. We encourage them to complete their review at pace and welcome their commitment to take swift compliance and enforcement action against any supplier who has breached market rules.<\/p>"}

On 17 April, we published a government response to an independent report on a UK SAF industry. It sets out how we are already taking action to address many of the report\u2019s recommendations. We have committed to continue working with industry to consider the case for broader support alongside the AFF and the SAF mandate from 2025 (that will provide a long-term investment signal and price support), with a focus on industry funded intervention, to increase revenue certainty for UK SAF plants. If required following that work, we will launch a formal consultation this summer.<\/p>"}
