Biomass plants are currently eligible for support under the Renewables Obligation (RO) and the Contracts for Difference (CfD) schemes.<\/p>

The latest available annual data on support paid to biomass plants[1]<\/sup><\/sup> relates to plants accredited under the RO for 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16.<\/p>

The figures have been derived by collating the number of RO certificates[2]<\/sup><\/sup> issued to the technology group of \u2018biomass\u2019 in a financial year and multiplying this by the associated buy-out price[3]<\/sup><\/sup>. Both sets of data are published by Ofgem. CfD payments for one project have commenced end of December and are therefore not included.<\/p>

The temporary galvanised barriers outside Carriage Gates will be replaced via the New Palace Yard security enhancement project. The detailed design for the permanent replacement will be developed once an outline business case has been approved in early February 2017. It is envisaged that a solution sympathetic to the existing local architecture will be adopted. This will be subject to obtaining the necessary consents and permissions from Westminster City Council.
