Tom Elliott – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tom Elliott on 2015-11-24.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to her Statement of 19 November 2015, Official Report, column 807, whether the Northern Ireland Executive can progress its own policies on onshore wind.

Andrea Leadsom

Energy is a devolved matter for Northern Ireland. Whilst that means that the Northern Ireland Executive can develop its own policies on onshore wind, it is this government’s position that any policy which results in additional support to onshore wind should not be funded by the GB consumers.
