Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make it his policy to end subsidies for power stations generating electricity from burning wood.

The Government has no plans to remove support for biomass generating stations that are already supported under the Renewables Obligation (RO) and the Contract for Difference (CfD). Such generators undertook their investments in establishing their stations under these schemes and have a statutory right to their existing support.
