At the February European Council, the Government negotiated a new settlement, giving the United Kingdom a special status in a reformed European Union.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

The Government's position, as set out by the Prime Minister to the House on 22 February, is that the UK will be stronger, safer and better off remaining in a reformed EU.<\/del><\/p>

I refer the hon. Gentleman to the statement given by the Prime Minister on 24 June:<\/ins><\/p>

Table 3.03 of the Energy Consumption in the UK publication, shows between 2003 and 2013, gas used by the domestic sector declined by 10.9 per cent whilst electricity declined by 7.8 per cent. These reductions include a range of .<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/energy-consumption-in-the-uk<\/a><\/p>

The National Energy Efficiency framework, published in June 2014 shows the savings experience in gas consumption for properties having cavity wall insulation and loft insulation installed in 2011.The full report can be accessed through this link:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/323939/National_Energy_Efficiency_Data-Framework_2014.pdf<\/a>.<\/p>

Savings have been estimated by comparing the gas consumption in properties before and after an energy efficiency measure has been installed with the change in consumption over the same period for similar properties which have not had a measure installed.<\/p>

The Department wrote to recipients of the Low Carbon Communities Challenge (LCCC) grant in 2010 when it became clear that the European Commission considered the feed-in tariff scheme (FIT) to be state aid, and therefore not permissible to be combined with the LCCC grant, as originally intended. Officials offered advice to the projects at that time.<\/p>

The LCCC award letter made it clear that any income from FIT payments could only be spent on additional carbon reduction initiatives and therefore not to fund the maintenance costs of renewable energy systems installed under the LCCC grant. Some projects may have received grant funding for activities that are not associated with purchasing and installing renewable energy technologies. Such costs are not covered by the FIT and so can be supported by public grants without affecting eligibility for the FIT under the current rules. We will be issuing guidance that gives more clarity on this issue.<\/p>

We will also be issuing guidance for new community groups covering: the treatment of different community ownership models under the FIT scheme; and reaching agreement with a commercial developer over sharing FIT payments.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3983", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Amber Rudd"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hastings and Rye"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Amber Rudd"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "227364"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226670/answer/previousversion/50539", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3983", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Amber Rudd"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hastings and Rye"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Amber Rudd"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-17T17:24:07.527Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "63"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Energy and Climate Change"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Energy and Climate Change"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-03-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Energy: Finance"} , "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, with reference to paragraph 23 of his Department's grant confirmation letter of 11 January 2010 to the MOZES community energy co-operative, what steps his Department has taken to ensure that eligible third sector organisations and local authorities will be allowed to receive grant funding from the Low Carbon Communities Challenge and feed-in tariffs.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4029", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lilian Greenwood"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Nottingham South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lilian Greenwood"} ], "uin" : "227267"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226674", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Energy and Climate Change"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226674/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department wrote to recipients of the Low Carbon Communities Challenge (LCCC) grant in 2010 when it became clear that the European Commission considered the feed-in tariff scheme (FIT) to be state aid, and therefore not permissible to be combined with the LCCC grant, as originally intended. Officials offered advice to the projects at that time.<\/p>

The LCCC award letter made it clear that any income from FIT payments could only be spent on additional carbon reduction initiatives and therefore not to fund the maintenance costs of renewable energy systems installed under the LCCC grant. Some projects may have received grant funding for activities that are not associated with purchasing and installing renewable energy technologies. Such costs are not covered by the FIT and so can be supported by public grants without affecting eligibility for the FIT under the current rules. We will be issuing guidance that gives more clarity on this issue.<\/p>

We will also be issuing guidance for new community groups covering: the treatment of different community ownership models under the FIT scheme; and reaching agreement with a commercial developer over sharing FIT payments.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3983", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Amber Rudd"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hastings and Rye"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Amber Rudd"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "227267"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226675/answer/previousversion/50540", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3983", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Amber Rudd"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hastings and Rye"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Amber Rudd"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-17T17:24:07.68Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "63"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Energy and Climate Change"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Energy and Climate Change"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-03-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "MOZES"} , "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 he has made of the options available to restructure the 2010 grant to the MOZES community energy cooperative in Nottingham in order to make it State Aid compliant.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4029", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lilian Greenwood"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Nottingham South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lilian Greenwood"} ], "uin" : "227364"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&answer.previousAnswerVersion.answeringMemberConstituency=Hastings+and+Rye", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 69, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
