Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what (a) subsidies, (b) grants, (c) contracts for difference payments, and (d) other support mechanisms have been provided for renewable generation since 2010; and what the cumulative cost to taxpayers has been.

For a breakdown of billpayer funding see:

1. Feed-in Tariffs Annual Report: Scheme Year 15 April 2024 to March 2025 - Ofgem
2. Economic and fiscal outlook – March 2026 - Office for Budget Responsibility

To note: These billpayer funded levy figures are not equivalent to net impacts on bill payers, as renewable deployment has also suppressed wholesale prices over this period.
