question text | To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Verma on 16 June (WA 23) on energy prices, how they reconcile the Department of Energy and Climate Change's estimate in paragraph 4.3, page 28 of its February consultation on the plans for the offtaker of last resort that "Backstop PPAs [will be] available to generators from early 2016" with the statement made to Parliament on 4 November 2013 at Report stage of the Energy Act 2013 that they intended "a scheme to be in place by the time the first CfDs are signed" in late 2014 (HL Deb, col 25); and whether concerns have been raised by independent generators about the distinction between having "a high degree of clarity about the arrangements for OLR" and "a scheme being in place". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

question text | To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Verma on 16 June (WA 23–24) on energy prices, what assessment they have made of the time needed for suppliers to develop a conditional Contracts for Difference (CfD) powerpurchase agreement (PPA), for it to undergo an internal credit approval process, to be negotiated competitively with independent generators, and to be assessed by the generator's putative financiers before they can offer finance terms to independent generators; and what impact they consider that timeframe will have on conditional PPAs being agreed prior to the first allocation round of CfDs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

question text | To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Verma on 16 June (WA 23–24) on energy prices, what evidence there is to suggest that smaller suppliers will be capable of developing a conditional Contracts for Difference (CfD) powerpurchase agreement (PPA) in time for the first CfD auctions in October 2014; and whether their reliance on the development of conditional PPAs to support the participation of independent generators is in line with the suggestion made by the Minister of State for Energy, Michael Fallon MP, on 4 December 2013 during the passage of the Energy Act 2013 that electricity market reform would "result in greater competition among PPA providers and support smaller suppliers, as generators will not have to rely on large incumbents with strong credit ratings to sell their power in the market" (HC Deb, col 970). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

question text | To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Verma on 16 June (WA 24) on energy prices, in the light of the change in language used by the European Commission between its draft and final state aid guidance to reduce the distinction between "mature" and "immature", and "established" and "less established" technologies, what steps they will take to ensure that the current proposals (1) to introduce auctioning of Contracts for Difference (CfDs) for only one particular group of technologies in October 2014, and (2) to create an enduring regime which allocates CfDs in different ways to different groups of technologies beyond 2017, will not run contrary to the new guidelines, introduced after the commencement of their consultation process. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

question text | To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the proposal to introduce contracts for difference auctioning has been reassessed following the European Commission's adoption of the final state aid guidelines for environmental protection and energy for 2014–2020; if so whether they specifically considered (1) the risk of the proposal failing to conform with the Commission's guidance that competitive bidding should be non-discriminatory due to the distinction the proposal makes between "established" and "less established" technologies, (2) the risk of the proposal failing to conform to the guidelines on the grounds of providing "asymmetric information" to the United Kingdom energy market, and (3) the risk of the proposal failing to conform with the Commission's guidance within General Conditions which stipulates that "the selection process should lead to the selection of beneficiaries that can address the environmental or energy objectives using the least amount of aid or in the most cost-effective way"; in each case, what conclusion they reached; and, in each case, what was the rationale forthe conclusion. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
