The subsidy cost per tonne of carbon saved by renewable technologies depends on the type of electricity generation displaced. DECC\u2019s 2012 Bioenergy Strategy1 assumed that offshore wind and dedicated biomass displace combined cycle gas turbine plants and biomass conversion plants displace coal plants. Estimates of subsidy cost per tonne of carbon dioxide saved for these technologies are set out in the following table (the Bioenergy Strategy did not include estimates for onshore wind nor explicitly consider exports).<\/p>

<\/p>

Technology<\/p><\/td>

Subsidy Cost per Tonne of Carbon Dioxide Saved (£/tCO2)<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Offshore Wind<\/p><\/td>

200<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Dedicated Biomass<\/p><\/td>

200 to 530<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Biomass Conversion<\/p><\/td>

50 to 60<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>

The range for dedicated biomass and biomass conversions reflects the range in possible carbon dioxide savings. It is the responsibility of generators to determine where in their supply chain they make this saving.<\/p>

Coal to biomass conversions are supported as a transitional technology, to 2027. The table shows that, in the short term, conversions of coal plants can offer better value for money in abatement terms when compared to dedicated biomass plants and offshore wind, which offer longer term benefits.<\/p>

In line with the 2012 Bioenergy Strategy, we have limited support for new build dedicated biomass electricity (without CHP) by placing a cap of 400MW on the total new-build dedicated biomass capacity. This reflects that the carbon savings are less cost-effective than coal to biomass conversions.<\/p>

The Department has no recorded expenditure on the purchase of televisions in either year. <\/del><\/p>

<\/ins>The Department of Energy & Climate Change did not purchase any televisions in 2013. In 2014 three televisions were purchased at a cost of £851.82. In addition, two televisions were purchased as part of a new video-conferencing kit (for which they are exclusively used) but these were not priced separately.<\/ins><\/p>

The Green Deal Home Improvement Fund (GDHIF) shut to new applications on July 24th<\/sup>. A contribution towards the cost of a Green Deal Assessment Report was only available to customers who made a successful application to the Fund, and who went on to install measures as a result.<\/p>

<\/p>

Assessments are the most popular part of Green Deal \u2013 by the end of July 2014 over 300,000 Green Deal Assessments were undertaken. Assessments provide a tailored picture of the first steps people can take to be more energy efficiency and potentially reduce their bills \u2013 they are not just for GDHIF.<\/p>

The Government has no plans to change the 20 year duration of support under the Renewables Obligation (RO) for accredited solar PV stations. DECC has recently consulted on proposals to control the deployment of new solar PV capacity above 5MW under the RO. A copy of the consultation document is available on DECC\u2019s web page:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-changes-to-financial-support-for-solar-pv<\/a><\/p>

With regard to our policy on the RO scheme, DECC has laid draft Regulations before Parliament which will bring about the closure of the RO to new capacity on 31 March 2017 as planned, subject to Parliamentary approval. The Government has proposed closing the RO to new solar capacity above 5MW two years earlier, from 31 March 2015. We consider this to be necessary because large-scale solar PV is deploying more rapidly than expected. This poses a substantial risk to our ability to manage the levy control framework budget, and therefore our ability to minimise costs of renewables deployment for consumers. The consultation closed on 7 July and consultation responses are being considered. We will publish a Government Response setting out our decision as soon as possible.<\/p>

The UK has seen a remarkable transformation in solar PV deployment under the Coalition Government: solar capacity stood at 3.5GW at the end of the first quarter of 2014, increasing its share to 17 per cent of all renewables capacity. The Government remains committed to solar PV, and the measures that we set out in our UK Solar PV Strategy will ensure that solar PV continues to be a vital part of the UK\u2019s renewable energy mix for many years to come. A copy of the Strategy is available on DECC\u2019s web page:<\/p>

Ministers and officials have had meetings with many interested parties in recent months, including energy suppliers, insulation companies and local authorities, at which the Government\u2019s proposed changes to the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) were discussed.<\/p>

These and other stakeholders, such as consumer organisations and Ofgem, are represented on the ECO Steering Group, which meets on a monthly basis. The terms of reference for the group, along with minutes of meetings and other papers, are made publicly available via Gov.uk:<\/p>

Consumer protection is an important aspect of any energy efficiency scheme. ECO is an obligation on the largest energy suppliers, and suppliers use in-house operation teams or contract third party installation companies to promote and install energy efficiency improvements in households. Compensation payments would therefore be provided through the energy suppliers or their contractors, not by Government.<\/p>

However, we have recently consulted on additional warranty provisions under ECO Affordable Warmth. We will announce the outcome of that consultation shortly.<\/p>

Consumers can also access the usual consumer protection routes such as Citizens Advice (08454 04 05 06) and Trading Standards.<\/p>
