<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. Figures on spend for 2014 are not yet available.</p><p><strong><em>Estimated
average impact on household energy bills from policies in the Levy Control Framework
(real 2012 prices)1</em></strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td><p><strong>Renewables
Obligation</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Feed-in Tariffs</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Warm
Home Discount</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>£17</p></td><td><p>£0</p></td><td><p>-</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>£20</p></td><td><p>£2</p></td><td><p>Zero</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>£24</p></td><td><p>£5</p></td><td><p>Zero</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>£30</p></td><td><p>£7</p></td><td><p>Zero</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p> </p><p>It should be noted that this table only reflects the costs of these
policies on bills. Renewable generation supported by RO and FITs helps put downward
pressure on wholesale electricity prices, because they have very low operating costs.</p><p>
