Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department's proposals to end the export tariff for self-generators will require member states to remunerate self-generators for renewable electricity fed into the grid which reflects a fair market value as part of the EU Renewable Energy Directive II.
Leaving the EU will not affect the UK's commitment to domestic and international efforts to tackle climate change. Renewable technologies now form a very significant part of the UK’s energy mix and will continue to do so into the future. Renewable energy will have a key role to play in delivering our ambitious Clean Growth Strategy. The UK will consider transposition of the Renewable Energy Directive II recast as part of the wider EU Exit negotiations on our future energy partnership.
