<p>The Department has not made an assessment of the recent changes in the value of
the pound on cost to the UK of electricity and gas imports.</p><p> </p><p>Exchange
rates are only one of the factors which influence the cost of electricity and gas
imports.</p><p> </p><p>Market gas prices are also impacted by the availability and
cost of a range of gas supplies, both regional and global, infrastructure constraints
and global and regional demand. The cost of importing electricity to the UK through
its interconnectors with other European countries is also influenced by the electricity
generation mix in Europe and gas, coal and carbon prices and level of electricity
demand in the UK and other European countries.</p>
