Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to her oral statement of 22 June 2015, HC Deb, column 618, on onshore wind subsidies, if she will publish a list of wind farms and turbine applications in Morecambe and Lunesdale constituency that can be appealed under the grace period.

We have said that onshore wind projects wishing to access the grace period allowing them entry to the Renewables Obligation beyond our closure date of 1 April 2016 will, by 18 June 2015, have to have planning consent, a grid connection offer and acceptance, and evidence of land rights for the site on which their project will be built. The precise grace period eligibility requirements will be determined through the legislative process and are subject to approval by Parliament. It will be for the developer of each individual project to determine whether they meet those eligibility requirements.
