Energy: Costs
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, in commissioning future energy projects, what account they intend to take of the full system and intermittency cost of competing technologies, and whether they intend to implement an Equivalent Firm Power capacity auction.
- Answer
-
Professor Helm conducted an independent review which, among other things, made recommendations regarding full system and intermittency costs, and a system of Equivalent Firm Power capacity auctions. The government will now take time to assess its findings carefully. We have launched a Call for Evidence to gather views from the energy industry, academics, businesses, consumer groups and other stakeholders.
