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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what they estimate was their public subsidy contribution to UK wind farms during the period from 24 to 31 October.

UK wind farms are currently supported under the Renewables Obligation (RO) or Feed-in Tariff (FiT) schemes.

Data for support given to plants accredited under the RO scheme for October 2016 will be available in January 2017 from Ofgem. See link here: https://www.renewablesandchp.ofgem.gov.uk/Public/ReportManager.aspx?ReportVisibility=1&ReportCategory=0

Data for support given to plants accredited under the FiT scheme for October 2016 will be published in Ofgem’s forthcoming annual report. The report does not break spend down by technology or month. The current report for 2014/15 can be accessed here: https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/system/files/docs/2016/03/fit_annual_report.pdf
