Written question asked by Viscount Ridley (Conservative) on Tuesday, 11 November 2014, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 25 November 2014. It was answered by Baroness Verma (Conservative) on Thursday, 27 November 2014 on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change.

Energy: Prices

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the impacts in pounds per megawatt hour of each energy and climate change policy on (1) retail gas prices, and (2) retail electricity prices, for (a) domestic consumers, (b) medium-sized businesses, and (c) energy-intensive users in their low, central, and high fossil-fuel price scenarios.

Answer

The layout of the 2014 Estimated Impacts of Energy and Climate Change Policies on Energy Prices and Bills report1 was reviewed to focus on overall bill impacts following feedback on the length of Annexes and confusion between the prices and bills tables in previous reports.

The price and consumption effects of each policy on domestic consumers, medium-sized businesses, and energy intensive users are converted into £ impacts and set out in a single set of tables in Annex D.

The results of fossil fuel price sensitivity analysis are summarised in Chapter 6.
