There are now 25 independent suppliers in the domestic retail market providing more competition and choice for consumers.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has made it quicker and easier for consumers to switch supplier. We are now working with Ofgem towards next day switching.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We have supported Ofgem\u2019s reforms to make the retail market simpler, clearer and fairer and to increase liquidity in the wholesale electricity market.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition the Government has backed Ofgem\u2019s referral of the energy market for investigation by the Competition and Market Authority.<\/p>

My rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change met the Chinese Special Representative on Climate Change Xie Zhenhua at the Major Economies Forum in Luxembourg in July and when she visited Beijing at the end of July. They agreed on the importance of getting an effective climate change agreement at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties in December in Paris and agreed to work together for an ambitious outcome.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
During her recent trip, the Secretary of State also met with Minister Bekri who leads China\u2019s National Energy Administration and a number of other Chinese stakeholders from business and government where we discussed low carbon cooperation. The Secretary of State hopes to meet with Minister Bekri again shortly for further discussions.<\/p>

Government incentives to deploy solar, in the form of the renewables obligation, the feed-in tariff scheme and contracts for different, have driven a very rapid increase in deployment \u2013 from approximately 43MW in May 2010, to 7872MW in July 2015[<\/sup>1]<\/sup>, totalling nearly 740,000 installations. DECC has recently consulted on measures under the FIT and the RO to bring the costs of support under these schemes under greater control and ensure that they provide value for money for electricity bill payers whilst still supporting deployment.<\/p> <\/p>

We issued a public consultation on the FIT Review on 27th<\/sup> August. The consultation will close on 23 October and we expect many responses from across the renewable energy industry, finance, Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and the general public.<\/p>Since then the Secretary of State has held meetings with the British Photovoltaic Association and the Solar Trade Association, and officials are planning a series of stakeholder events to be run across Great Britain, before the consultation ends.<\/p>
