Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what her preferred means of levy support is for the operation of Carbon Capture and Storage plants.
The Contract for Difference is the means of providing support for all low carbon generation including Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The Supplier Obligation mechanism is a compulsory levy on electricity suppliers to meet the cost of Contract for Differences. Total funds used for this purpose are managed through the Levy Control Framework (LCF).
