National Grid Electricity Transmission plc (NGET), in its role as system operator, have informed us that the average transmission network use of system charge for a GB generator is £5.77 / kW (2017/18 tariffs). The actual tariff is dependent on the location of the generator, the historic load factor of the generator, the type of generator and details of its specific connection.<\/p>

<\/p>

As part of the overall transmission infrastructure facilitating the wider market, interconnectors do not pay use of system charges for the transmission network. As producers and consumers are liable for charges in their own countries, additional charges for using the interconnector, to allow imports and exports, would amount to double charging and may hinder the ability of GB producers to export electricity to other countries.<\/p>

The UK has a pipeline of interconnector projects that are expected to play a role in providing reliable, affordable, and clean energy.<\/p>

<\/p>

Based on current project timelines and assuming all projects are able to complete, 3GW (3000MW) of new interconnector capacity are expected to be operational by 2020. A further 1.4GW is also currently under construction for delivery after 2020. There are a further 9.5GW of projects which have sought regulatory approval.<\/p>

The proportion of electricity that will be supplied by electricity imports by 2020 is expected to be 7.6%.<\/p>

<\/p>

The power supply sector is projected using the reference case scenario from the Energy and Emissions Projections 2016 (published March 2017), which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/updated-energy-and-emissions-projections-2016<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

Up to 2020, the reference scenario reflects current power sector policies. Beyond 2020, the reference scenario includes assumptions that go beyond current Government policy. The results do not indicate a preferred outcome and should be treated as illustrative.<\/p>

The Government does not hold prices on electricity imports over interconnectors. This is commercial information held by market participants.<\/p>

<\/p>

As regards the average price for other electricity generation, the average UK power price in the day ahead market, the most commonly cited trading time frame, was £45.01 over the past 12 months. This is an incomplete picture as power is sold across a number of time frames, from year ahead through to intraday trading, and it would be inappropriate to extract wholesale prices from one time frame and use it to infer prices across other time frames. The Government does not have visibility of longer term time frames, which is commercial information held by market participants.<\/p>

We are increasing public investment in research and development investment by £4.7 billion over the period 2017-18 to 2020-21. This equates to an extra £2 billion per year by 2020-21 and is an increase of around 20% to total government R&D spending, more than any increase in any parliament since 1979.<\/p>

We are creating the right environment to incentivise private sector investment in R&D. Innovate UK currently provides funding for research, development and demonstration projects and has funded over 11,000 projects to date, with over 8,000 unique organisations involved.Through Innovate UK, we have established a network of Catapult Centres to commercialise new and emerging technologies and Catapults are forecast to attract total public and private investment exceeding £1.6bn over their first five years of operation. R&D tax credits encourage greater R&D investment by business and in the year ending 31 March 2015 almost 21,000 companies used the R&D tax credits to claim a total amount of £2.45 billion, with R&D expenditure used to make these claims reaching £21.8 billion.<\/p>

Science, Research and Innovation will be at the heart of our Industrial Strategy and this Government has bold ambitions to increase R&D and back industries of the future. Our commitment to reach R&D investment of 2.4% of GDP within ten years and 3% in the longer-term is part of this.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4039", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Orpington"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Joseph Johnson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-07-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-11T16:12:03.317Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Research: Private Sector"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what incentives his Department provides to the private sector to increase expenditure on research and development.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1171", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Liam Byrne"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Hodge Hill"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Liam Byrne"} ], "uin" : "2975"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/748361", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Exiting the European Union"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/748361/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department is also committed to working with a diverse range of external organisations, to ensure our work reflects a broad range of opinions across the UK.<\/p>

The Department has an active equalities network to provide support and has appointed Catherine Webb as the dedicated senior equalities champion who sits on the Department's Executive Board and provides support and board level representation for the equalities networks. The department has dedicated mental health first aiders and has signed the Time to Change pledge in February 2017.
