Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the total tax they receive, including carbon levies and windfall taxes, on each kilowatt-hour of delivered retail electricity generated by gas at current prices.

Whilst Carbon Price Support and Emissions Trading Scheme comprise the total carbon price applied to electricity generators, this does not translate into a single per kilowatt-hour tax rate on delivered retail electricity. It is therefore not possible to provide a single figure for the total tax received per kWh of delivered retail electricity generated by gas from carbon levies.
