question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, whether his Department has made an estimate of the (a) number of energy suppliers which require an upfront payment in order to switch to them and (b) cost of such payments.
tabling member constituency	Don Valley
tabling member printed	Caroline Flint
uin	214542
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p>The decision to pass on any costs incurred while switching a customer’s supply is a commercial decision for the company. Energy suppliers do not require an upfront payment from customers on a credit meter who are switching to them. Some suppliers will charge if an incoming customer wants to switch from a prepayment meter to a credit meter. The following table shows the energy supply companies that do make such charges and the level of that charge. These suppliers may waive charges for vulnerable consumers or in certain circumstances.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><em>Supplier </em></p></td><td><p><em>Charge for gas PPM </em></p></td><td><p><em>Charge for electricity PPM </em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Npower</strong></p></td><td><p>£60</p></td><td><p>£60</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Scottish Power</strong></p></td><td><p>£62.90</p></td><td><p>£45.91</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>SSE</strong></p></td><td><p>£52.00</p></td><td><p>£52.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Co-op</strong></p></td><td><p>£69.02</p></td><td><p>£66.15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Ebico</strong></p></td><td><p>£52.00</p></td><td><p>£52.00</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 24/11/2014 16:39:06 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

uin	221889
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2014 answer text <p>We currently support two units of Drax under the Renewables Obligation (RO), one as a full conversion, the other as an enhanced co-firing unit. One further unit has been awarded a contract under Final Investment Decision Enabling for Renewables (FIDeR). Government spending on levy funded support for low carbon electricity, including renewables, is capped by the Levy Control Framework (LCF), thereby helping to minimise the impact on consumer bills.</p><p>An estimate of the cost of support for renewable electricity generation by Drax cannot be provided as such information would allow the determination of operational factors which are commercially confidential.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 30/10/2014 15:11:44 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2014 answer text <p>In order to help ensure that policies achieve their objectives cost effectively and affordably, the Government introduced a Levy Control Framework to control levy funded spending by DECC at Budget 2011.
