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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what his Department's most recent estimate is of the underspend in the capped Feed-in Tariff budget for new solar photovoltaic and wind projects in 2016-17.

The Department intends to conduct a review of the balance of deployment caps between and within technologies, taking into account deployment patterns and wider government priorities. This will be published later this year and include estimates of the Levy Control Framework spend and underspend in the capped Feed-in Tariff budget for all scheme technologies.

The scheme administrator, Ofgem E-Serve, publishes information on deployment compared to cap levels. This is available here.
