My Lords, Ofgem’s capacity assessment emphasises the importance of action to ensure that we continue to enjoy electricity security in the medium and long term. That is why the Government are taking decisive steps to secure our supplies, including reforming the electricity market to drive the investment that we need and consulting later this year on options to reduce demand for electricity. Recent announcements on investment in a new gas power station at Carrington and from Hitachi on nuclear investment demonstrate that the Government’s approach to securing investment is having real impacts.

The renewables obligation (RO) is currently the Government's main mechanism for incentivising the deployment of large-scale renewable electricity. Between its introduction in April 2002 and March 2010 approximately £1.8 billion has been awarded to wind power, both onshore and onshore, under this mechanism. This figure uses the nominal value (equal to the buyout price + recycle value) of a renewable obligation certificate (ROC) in each year. The nominal value represents the maximum worth of a ROC to a generator but is not necessarily the amount paid by a supplier, which is dependent on bi-lateral negotiations between supplier and generator.
The feed-in tariffs (FITs) scheme is the mechanism for incentivising the deployment of small-scale low-carbon electricity. The total net subsidy cost of wind power to be incentivised through FITs is estimated at around £1.5 billion, cumulative to 2030 (real 2008 prices, discounted). This estimate is based on the FITs model for the 2010 final impact assessment, updated for energy demand and fossil fuel prices in March 2011. Estimates are for FITs uptake and costs over and above that expected to occur under the RO. The analysis will be updated for the FITs comprehensive review.
Regarding future support, the Government do not set targets for individual technologies. The amount of support provided for wind power—through these mechanisms or the feed-in tariffs with contracts for difference being introduced through the Government's electricity market reform—will be dependent on the contribution wind power makes to the renewable and low carbon electricity mix.

My Lords, some 12 gigawatts of coal and oil capacity and 10 gigawatts of nuclear capacity are expected to be withdrawn by 2025. Industry is responding well, with nearly 10 gigawatts under construction and 10 gigawatts with consent to begin construction. Government policy, including recent legislation, aims to ensure the right framework is in place for industry to invest and we continue to review this.

My Lords, for 1990–2010, the maximum annual cost—I emphasise ““maximum””—of the Government’s renewable energy strategy, assuming that targets are met, is very approximately estimated at £500 million. For 1990–2015 the equivalent estimate is £800 million per annum, and for 1990–2020 it is £1 billion per annum. These figures compare with a current total annual cost of supplying electricity to all consumers in the UK of more than £15 billion.
