Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to decouple the cost to the consumer of renewable energy from fossil fuel energy sources on energy bills so that households can see the cost of renewable energy.

The Government intends to act at pace to address extraordinary profits that certain renewable generators are receiving from high wholesale electricity prices. We will act to break the link between high global gas prices and charges for low carbon electricity generation, enabling consumers to benefit from low-priced clean electricity while ensuring fair returns for generators.
