The information requested can be found in the table ‘Technical and cost assumptions (2020 real prices) within the annex to the report. The capital expenditure...

The information requested can be found in the table ‘Technical and cost assumptions (2020 real prices) within the annex to the report. Therefore, the cost from the table is £531 /kW hydrogen...
Andrew Bowie: 'Hydrogen Production Costs 2021’, published by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy in August 2021, sets out the levelised cost of various hydrogen production technologies. The annex to the report (worksheet '2030_R') sets out a range of levelised costs for gas reformation with CCUS (blue) hydrogen production commissioning in 2030. Costs range from 1,454 to 3,096...

Please see: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hydrogen-producti on-costs-2021 We will continue to monitor and update cost estimates based on new evidence as it becomes available.
Ranil Jayawardena: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will review the Levelised Cost of Electricity to take account of the (a) full cost of energy and (b) energy return on energy invested.
Mick Whitley: ...declined in 2018 to provide the proposed tidal lagoon project on Swansea bay with the price stabilisation mechanism that was needed to guarantee investor certainty, it was on the grounds that the levelised cost of energy was higher than that of low-carbon alternatives, including new nuclear.
Amanda Solloway: Since July 2023, the Government has used the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) to provide a discount, so as to levelise prepayment charges with those for direct debit customers. The EPG discount applies until the end of March 2024 and Ofgem is, at the request of Government, currently consulting on proposals to levelise charges from April on an ongoing basis.
Claire Coutinho: ...shifts. Existing analysis shows that renewables form the bedrock of a low-cost energy electricity system. This is in line with the conclusions from the Office for Budget Responsibility's 'enhanced levelised cost' analysis from 2023.[1] Last year, volatile global gas prices drove electricity prices to record highs – many times greater than the Administrative Strike Prices set out today....
Lord Callanan: The Government regularly publishes its view of the levelised cost of generating a unit of electricity from various technologies, including renewables and gas-fired power generation with CCUS, in the Electricity generation costs report which was updated in 2023.
Lord Ravensdale: ...in constructing such a system, using technology that has not yet been demonstrated at scale, would be extremely challenging. The cost per megawatt hour of that system would be far more than the levelised cost of electricity figures we routinely see quoted for renewable electricity. So the picture is much more complex than simply comparing costs at the generator. We live in a radically...
Graham Stuart: ...-security-and-net-zero. Data covering the 7 February 2023 until 31 March 2023 is due to be published shortly in line with Cabinet Office Guidance organisations are listed instead of individuals. Levelised Costs of Electricity for generation technologies are reported in the Generation Costs Report which can be found on GOV.UK at:...
Amanda Solloway: ...forecast to total £0.5bn. This includes the Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding, the Domestic Alternative Fuel Payment, the Non-domestic Alternative Fuel Payment, and Prepayment Meter Levelisation (Energy Price Guarantee). Separately, the forecast for Heat Networks Alternative Dispute Resolution bodies funding is £0.3m. All forecasts are provided on an accruals basis. Ongoing...
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...
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...
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...
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
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...
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...
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?
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?
