answer text <p>The Hinkley Point C strike price in 2012 prices is £89.50/MWh indexed to the Consumer Price Index. This price benefits from upfront reduction of £3/MWh built in on assumption that EdF will be able to share first of a kind costs of EPR reactors across Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C sites. If the final investment decision is not taken on Sizewell C, the Strike Price for Hinkley Point C will be £92.50/MWh in 2012 prices. The Department has not restated the strike price in October 2014 prices.</p> more like this

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. Over 2010 to 2014 the Levy Control Framework covered the Renewables Obligation, Feed-in Tariffs and the Warm Home Discount.</p><p>The table below sets out the estimated average impact on household energy bills over 2010 to 2013.
