answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2017 answer text <p>The Strike Price for Hinkley Point C accounts for all charges incurred by the developer in the production of electricity, including the cost of land, the generator’s share of transmission losses and an expectation of Transmission Use of Service Charges. Balancing services are not accounted for as the Strike Price for Hinkley Point C only includes costs that are directly incurred by the project.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 22/02/2017 16:56:19 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2017 answer text <p>The Government and Ofgem recently published a Call for Evidence on how to manage the transition to a smart energy system. This included a proposed approach to addressing policy and regulatory barriers to energy storage so that it can compete on a level playing field with other providers of flexibility. We will publish a Smart Systems Plan in spring 2017 setting out specific measures to be taken forward.</p><p>Since 2012, more than £80m of public sector controlled support has been invested in energy storage research, development and demonstration activities. This has helped to fund various storage technology demonstrators, including battery systems of different types and sizes. The 2016 Budget announcement committed at least £50 million to help innovation in energy storage, demand-side response and other smart technologies over the next five years.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/01/2017 14:17:36 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
