Energy Policy
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change pursuant to the written ministerial statement of 18 October 2010, Official Report, columns 42-46WS, on energy policy, what estimate he has made of the maximum compensation payable to the Government for taking on financial risks or liabilities; and what mechanism he proposes to use to (a) define and (b) measure benefits arising from taking on such risks or liabilities.
- Answer
-
As the 18 October 2010 statement on ““no subsidy for new nuclear power”” made clear, we are not ruling out action by the Government to take on financial risks or liabilities for which they are appropriately compensated or for which there are corresponding benefits. The Government would consider any potential measures in this area on a case-by-case basis, in line with the policy as set out in the statement.
