Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans his Department has to support the development of renewable energy schemes.
On 23 July we announced that the next auction in the Contract for Difference support scheme for renewable electricity generation will open by May next year, and that we plan to set out the parameters of the auction later this year. I also announced our intention to run subsequent auctions around every two years after that.
