Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of the findings of the report, Analysis of Generation Profitability by the Competition and Markets Authority, published on 25 February 2015.

The updated issues statement and accompanying working papers set out the initial views of the CMA of energy markets including on generation profitability. The forthcoming publication by the CMA of their Provisional Findings is expected to provide greater clarity of any problems with the energy markets and potential solutions. The Department will assess the impact of those provisional findings once the report is published.
