DECC is committed to providing investors with certainty and recognises the importance of the financial markets in the energy sector. We are engaging regularly with developers and investors on how policy decisions impact their investments, both present and future.<\/p>
In order to protect investor confidence, DECC has made it clear that no onshore wind or solar projects already accredited and that have started to receive support under subsidy schemes will be affected by the recent regulatory changes. We have provided grace periods and exceptions to the removal of grandfathering to protect those who have already made significant financial commitments or who experience grid delays.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4117", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrea Leadsom"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Northamptonshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrea Leadsom"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-01-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-01-27T14:01:33.517Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "63"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Energy and Climate Change"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Energy and Climate Change"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-01-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Renewable Energy: Investment"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment she has made of the effect of recent changes to wind and solar power regulations on investor confidence in the green economy.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1400", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kevin Brennan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cardiff West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kevin Brennan"} ], "uin" : "23760"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/446992", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/446992/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
