Government is fully committed to tackling fuel poverty, including meeting a new 2030 target now enshrined in law.<\/p>

In Policies such as the Warm Home Discount and the Energy Company Obligation continue to deliver vital support to millions of low income and vulnerable homes each year, with households in receipt of Pension Credit being eligible for assistance under both policies.<\/p>

The Government will be guided by the fuel poverty strategy published in March 2015, which sets out a clear policy of working towards improving energy efficiency standards across the English housing stock, including in the homes of the fuel poor.<\/p>

We provide specific support for pensioner households through the Winter Fuel Payment and Cold Weather Payments. Furthermore, this winter some 1.4 million of the poorest pensioners across Great Britain will receive £140 off their electricity bill under the Warm Home Discount scheme. This is an increase of 200,000 compared to last year, and around twice as many households as were helped in 2010/11, the first year of the scheme. The value of the discount has also increased each year since 2010/11.<\/p>

In addition, we have issued guidance for all households and consumers, including older people, on how they can prepare for winter and save energy and money in the document Keep Warm This Winter which is available at:<\/p>

Wind generators, in the same way as all other industries, are covered by the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA). This requires them as duty holders to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of their employees and any members of the public who may be affected by their activities.<\/p>

There are also well-established British and European standards covering product safety. The HSE performs appropriate regulatory checks on the operation and maintenance of wind turbines and also commissions research as needed. An HSE-commissioned report on risk assessment in the vicinity of wind turbines was published in 2013 and can be viewed online at:<\/p>

http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrpdf/rr968.pdf<\/a>.<\/p>

Offshore wind developers are working together, through the G9 group, to seek solutions to safety challenges to working offshore. More information can be found at:<\/p>

The Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD) tracks the progress of all projects over 0.01MW from submission of a planning application through to determination and generation:<\/p>

https://restats.decc.gov.uk/app/reporting/decc/monthlyextract<\/a><\/p>

The table below sets out the number and percentage of onshore wind installations, as well as the combined capacity of those installations, which are recorded on the REPD as having been approved or refused planning permission, on a year-by-year basis, since January 2009. These numbers are accurate as of the end of May 2014:<\/p>
