The concept of baseload refers to generation that operates continually throughout the year. As electricity demand varies widely from day to night and by season, there is a limit to the need for baseload generation which is less than the summer minimum demand. Baseload generation brings both benefits and costs to the system relative to generation that is designed to operate more flexibly or is intermittent.<\/p>
<\/p>
The electricity system already has many features that reward different types of generation depending on the demands of the system. When considering value for money, Government considers whole electricity system impacts. This includes the benefits of baseload generation relative to other technologies, and the cost of it not being able to increase or decrease output rapidly and of procuring reserve capacity to cover the risk of failure.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Capacity Market is at the heart of the Government\u2019s plans for a reliable energy system; it secures the capacity required to meet peak demand through auctions held four and one year ahead of delivery. It supports technically reliable existing plant to remain in the market and, as coal and other ageing plant retire, it will strengthen incentives for new plant to be financed and built.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Contracts for Difference scheme allocates support using a competitive auction process to projects with the lowest price bids, which drives efficiency and cost reduction. The scheme has been a success in delivering substantial new investment and helping to deliver significant reductions in the costs of some renewable technologies. We keep it under review in order to ensure it continues to operate effectively and deliver value for money to the consumer.<\/p>

For the official receiver, the amount of time an investigation takes is dependent on the size and complexity of the business. As this is a large and complex case, it is not possible at this early stage to specify a timeframe. Should the official receiver find any evidence of director misconduct this would be referred to the Insolvency Service for further investigation. The Secretary of State has not received any provisional conclusions from the investigation, nor would he expect to do so from either the official receiver or the insolvency service. Investigations by the official receiver and the insolvency service are conducted separately from Ministers, as is the making of decisions arising from investigations on any possible prosecution or director\u2019s disqualification.<\/p>
For the Financial Reporting Council, the timing of the investigation depends on the size and complexity of the issues to be considered, but will be taken forward as quickly as possible.

The UK is eligible to fully participate in all aspects of the Horizon 2020 programme, including the European Research Council (ERC), while we remain a member of the EU.<\/p>

In addition, the Joint Report presented by EU and UK negotiators states that: \u201cfollowing withdrawal from the Union the UK will continue to participate in the Union programmes financed by the MFF 2014-2020 until their closure\u201d. This includes participation in Horizon 2020.<\/p>
This means that, subject to the Withdrawal Agreement, ERC grant holders will continue to be eligible to relocate their grants to and from the UK.<\/p>

However, the Government\u2019s underwrite guarantee remains in place in the event that commitments made in the Joint Report are not met.
