Wind Power: Subsidies

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, whether it is her policy that proposed changes to the subsidy regime for onshore wind power will apply to all parts of the UK; and if she will make a statement.

Answer

In her Written Statement of 18 June 2015, HC WS40, my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State said that we intend that the final proposals are applied across Great Britain. We are in the process of consulting Scottish and Welsh ministers on this matter.

Since energy policy is devolved in Northern Ireland, we are currently in discussions with ministers there to agree how the Government’s commitments on onshore wind will be implemented in Northern Ireland.
