Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Nuclear Power and Renewable Energy (10 May 2023)

Lord Callanan: Levelised Costs of Electricity for generation technologies are reported in the Generation Costs Report. They compare the lifetime costs for a plant (construction, operating, and decommissioning costs) against the plant's expected lifetime generation. They do not consider site specific benefits or costs. In 2010, the Government published a review of tidal barrages or lagoons in the Severn...

Energy Security and Net Zero: Solar Power (28 Feb 2023)

Graham Stuart: The planning system is designed to seek that balance with the need to secure a clean, green energy system. It is worth noting that ground-mounted solar has probably the lowest levelised cost of any form of energy in this country. The Government have clarified the definition of “best and most versatile” agricultural land as constituting lands in grades 1, 2 and 3a, and we do everything we...

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Energy: Prices (26 Jan 2023)

Lord Callanan: The BEIS "Electricity Generation Costs" report shows that on a levelised cost basis, wind and solar are amongst the cheapest forms of electricity generation in the UK. More low-cost renewables like wind and solar will ensure Britain is less affected by fluctuations in volatile global gas prices. BEIS’s "Modelling 2050 – electricity system analysis" also shows that low-cost future...

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Wind Power: Costs (22 Dec 2022)

Graham Stuart: Currently the Government does not model degradation of wind turbine output nor changes in operating costs with time, but instead uses lifetime average values to calculate mean levelised cost of electricity.[1] [1]https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/energy-generati on-cost-projections

Marine Renewables: Government Support — [Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] (7 Dec 2022)

Alan Brown: ...given the right Government backing. The 40 MW allocation in AR4 will be delivered at £178 per MWh, which is already 15% below the administrative strike price and represents a 40% reduction in the levelised cost of energy since 2016. As we have heard, it could go as low as £78 per MWh by 2035 and below £50 per MWh by 2050. However, such cost reductions are possible only with continued...

COP 27: Commitments - Motion to Take Note (24 Nov 2022)

Baroness Walmsley: ...per kilowatt than other zero-carbon methods, but I am grateful for an excellent briefing from the catapult on offshore renewable energy, outlining research on what support is needed to reduce the levelised cost of energy—LCOE—produced from the tide and showing how it could, with the right support, be cheaper than nuclear by 2035. It is no accident that both solar and offshore wind have...

Education: Philosophy - Question (1 Nov 2022)

Baroness O'Neill of Bengarve: .... When I joined your Lordships’ House there were four of us, but the others are no longer with us. So much for the interest. My question is: does the Minister think that what we might call the A-levelisation of philosophy teaching in schools has, on balance, been beneficial, or not?

Energy Security Strategy — [Geraint Davies in the Chair] (5 Jul 2022)

John Penrose: ...largest source of potential tidal power. He is right, of course, about the up-front costs being significant and the lifetime costs being lower. However, even factoring that in, the total lifetime levelised costs of tidal power are, from all the figures I have seen, dramatically higher than anything else out there. Has the hon. Gentleman seen figures that I have not?

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Energy and Fossil Fuels (28 Apr 2022)

Greg Hands: The Department’s Electricity Generation Cost Report, published at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/energy-generation- cost-projections#2020, sets out levelised cost of electricity estimates for a range of technologies, including renewables, nuclear energy and fossil fuels.

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Electricity Generation: Costs (30 Mar 2022)

Steven Baker: ...and Industrial Strategy, with reference to his Department's response to FOI2021/05245, if he will publish his Department's final versions of the following files relating to calculations of the levelised cost of electricity generation (a) Solar Methodology.xlsx, (b) Onshore Methodology.xlsx, (c) Offshore Methodology.xlsx, (d) Generation Costs Summer Updates 2019 PR.pptx, (e) Offshore Wind...

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Gas Fired Power Stations (8 Mar 2022)

Steven Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessments he has made of the effects of a reduced capacity factor on the levelised cost of gas-fired power stations.

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Wind Power: Offshore Industry (7 Mar 2022)

Steven Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the levelised cost of offshore wind farms commissioning in 2022.

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Renewable Energy (7 Mar 2022)

Steven Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will publish the calculations underlying his Department’s most recent estimates of levelised costs of renewable generators.

Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill - Second Reading (21 Feb 2022)

Lord Ravensdale: ...Applying that thinking to the energy system shows that we cannot consider elements of the system in isolation. For example, renewables are achieving competitive costs of power at the generator, in levelised cost of electricity—or LCOE—terms. But as the percentage of renewables on the system increases, so, too, does the cost of system modification and back-up to cover those periods of...

Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill: Clause 7 - Licence modifications: relevant licensee nuclear companies (10 Jan 2022)

Mark Jenkinson: We have heard a lot today about offshore wind and how it could be the saviour of our energy system. Is my right hon. Friend aware that the levelised cost of energy of our largest offshore wind farm last year was £140 per megawatt-hour, which is twice the price of nuclear energy, if not more?

Tidal Energy Generation: Ringfenced Funding (25 Nov 2021)

Ian Blackford: ...to generate 34 terawatt-hours a year by 2050. The recent research for the Royal Society also indicates that if we build up this targeted support for the tidal industry, it will drive down the levelised cost of energy to below £150 per megawatt-hour. This would make tidal stream cost-competitive with other technologies such as combined cycle gas turbines, biomass and anaerobic digestion....

Onshore Wind Bill [HL] - Second Reading (19 Nov 2021)

Lord Callanan: ...onshore wind is now among the cheapest forms of electricity generation. The most recent Electricity Generation Costs report, published by my department, estimated that onshore wind projects have a levelised cost of electricity of £46 per megawatt hour, making it the second-cheapest form of electricity generation, behind utility-scale solar. We will need more. In response to the noble...

Public Bill Committee: Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill: Examination of Witnesses (16 Nov 2021)

Mark Jenkinson: ...level to force on the poorest in our society for energy per megawatt-hour? We have heard today that we can probably produce energy at £60 per megawatt-hour, possibly a bit less. The update in levelised cost of energy for 2020 for one of the UK’s biggest wind farms, which continues to be extended in Walney, was £136 per megawatt-hour. That is before we take into account constraint...

Public Bill Committee: Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill: Examination of Witnesses (16 Nov 2021)

...to do that; they will reach a plateau and companies will start to go to deeper waters and floating offshore wind prices will pick up. We are also judging things on an old-fashioned measure of the levelised cost of electricity, but for renewables we need to start building in the cost of energy storage as well. That does not come cheap. There is a lot of talk about hydrogen, but that...

Electricity Supply - Question (3 Feb 2021)

Lord Ravensdale: ..., as shown in the register. We are losing a large amount of low-carbon firm power capacity by the end of this decade. Much of the debate on future generation has been based on comparison of levelised costs of electricity metrics between technologies. Does the Minister agree that this does not recognise the system costs of intermittent generators, and that an alternative model should be...
