Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what recent assessment he has made of the contribution of micro-generation to the National Grid; and if he will make a statement.
The table below shows electricity generated from micro-generation installations between 2010/11 and 2013/14 and its share of total UK electricity supply. This includes electricity generated from installations registered on the Feed-in Tariff Scheme (FiT), and the Renewables Obligation (RO). FiT data for 2013-14 are due to be published by Ofgem on 18th December.
