uin	130782
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2021 answer text <p>In November, the Government confirmed changes to the pot structure for the Contracts for Difference scheme to introduce a new, third pot for offshore wind ahead of the fourth Allocation Round scheduled to take place in late 2021. The Government considers this approach will allow auction parameters to be set across pots in a way which better reflects project characteristics. Wave and tidal stream projects remain eligible to compete in pot 2 for CfD auctions. We will publish specific allocation round parameters in advance of the next auction; typically, five to six months in advance. This will include the details of whether any technology-specific minima will apply.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 13/01/2021 10:02:52 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

This data does not include customers who pay for their gas using a PPM as this data has not been compiled, however there are fewer gas PPMs as a whole in the market.</p><p> </p><p>The number of Prepayment Meter accounts in the GB energy market over the last five years has remained around 4.5 million. There has, however been an increase in competition in the PPM market over the past five years with PPM specialists providing greater choice for consumers beyond the six large suppliers. A cap on PPM prices was introduced in April 2017 and remains in force.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 15/06/2020 16:52:12 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
