Ian Murray – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ian Murray on 2016-02-02.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, which operating costs were included by her Department for full operation of a hydropower scheme for the purposes of modelling its feed-in tariff scheme.
Andrea Leadsom
The operating costs included for hydropower schemes aim to capture those costs faced by a developer that are strictly related to the operation of a hydropower plant; this is consistent with the approach taken across other support mechanisms, including the renewables obligation (RO).
The detailed consideration of operating costs is set out in the impact assessment accompanying the response to the feed-in tariffs review.
