In 2015/16, all woodchip used in the electricity sector was sourced from the UK, with a very small amount from Ireland (less than 0.1% of biomass in 2015/16[1]<\/sup><\/sup>). Almost all woodchip used in the Renewable Heat Incentive was sourced from the UK, with a small amount from European sources. Our subsidy schemes fully account for the carbon emissions associated with the supply chain (harvesting, processing, transporting) and from changes in land use within the forestry sector.<\/p>

To receive government support for heat and power generation from biomass, all biomass must comply with the UK\u2019s sustainability criteria, which includes a minimum 60% greenhouse gas lifecycle saving and for the biomass to be sourced from sustainable managed forests.<\/p>

(2) A budget cap was introduced to the RHI in Spring 2016, so the schemes can be closed to new applicants if the annual budgets are at risk of being exceeded.<\/p>

(3) The RHI schemes are evaluated regularly. The results of previous evaluations are available here:-<\/p>

(4) The government reviews the cost of wood pellets as part of periodic reviews of RHI tariffs. This was last done in 2016 as part of the RHI reforms which will be implemented this year.

The Renewables Obligation (RO) and small-scale Feed in Tariffs (FIT) schemes support the generation of renewable electricity and are funded from levies on electricity supply.<\/p>

<\/p>

Over the past 12 months the government has provided over £190m in compensation payments to eligible businesses for the indirect costs of the Renewables Obligation (RO) and small scale Feed in Tariffs (FIT) schemes. Of this we have paid over £54m to the steel sector.<\/p>

Two management contracts have been terminated early by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) in the last five years. These are the Parent Body Agreement with Nuclear Management Partners and the Management and Operation Contract with Sellafield Limited. These cancellations formed part of the process of turning Sellafield Limited into a subsidiary of the NDA which came into effect on 1 April 2016.<\/p>

<\/p>

On 27 March 2017, my Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy announced in Parliament that the NDA intends to terminate the Parent Body Agreement with Cavendish Fluor Partnership for the management of Magnox sites.<\/p>
