Claire Perry: ...generation costs can be found in the generation costs report (2016)[1] which covers both renewable and non-renewable technologies. We are currently undertaking a review of our evidence on levelised costs of electricity generation.

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: To ask Her Majesty’s Government what estimate they have made of the levelised cost of energy per megawatt hour for the Moorside nuclear power station.
Virendra Sharma: ...61007, what the evidential basis is for the conclusion that there has been a rapid reduction in the costs of renewable technologies, especially solar, since 2015; and what the current presumed levelised costs of electricity generation from (a) gas, (b) coal, (c) solar, (d) onshore wind and (e) offshore wind on which her Department's decisions on support for energy projects are currently...
Jesse Norman: The Electricity Generation Costs report focuses on estimates of the levelised costs of electricity generation. These levelised costs cover the total capital and operating costs accruing to the owner/operator of a generation asset. To improve the Department’s understanding of the impacts of individual electricity generation technologies, Frontier Economics were commissioned to develop a...
Lord Prior of Brampton: If built, the tidal lagoon at Swansea Bay is anticipated to generate approximately 0.5 TWh/year. The levelised cost of the project (in MWh) would depend on a number of factors including the capital costs, operating costs, operating profile, load factor and financing rates. For reasons of commercial sensitivity I cannot comment on the specifics of the developer’s latest proposal. Its...
Rory Stewart: ...and environmental costs should be considered. In November 2015, Bloomberg New Energy Finance, with DFID support, published a study of costs of different technologies in 14 developing countries (‘Levelised Costs of Electricity’). Since this study was completed, there has been a rapid reduction in the costs of renewable technologies, especially solar.
Jesse Norman: The Electricity Generation Cost report outlines the ‘levelised cost’ of onshore wind. The levelised cost is a guide to the overall costs for the lifetime of an onshore wind project; by contrast, the cost estimates in the Hinkley Point C value for money assessment are ‘Strike Price Comparators’ which are not equivalent to levelised cost. In the value for money assessment, to make the...
Jesse Norman: The Department expects to publish the update of our evidence on the levelised costs of electricity generation in due course.
Jesse Norman: The National Audit Office report in question refers to preliminary estimates of levelised cost data from this evidence update. These have not been published. However, we expect to publish the update of the evidence on the levelised costs of electricity generation in due course.
Jesse Norman: We expect to publish the update of our evidence on the levelised costs of electricity generation in due course.
Callum McCaig: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will publish the departmental report on which figures for the levelised cost of generating 1MWh with different technologies in 2025 in the National Audit Office report, Nuclear power in the UK, published in July 2016, are based.
Baroness Neville-Rolfe: The Government’s last published levelised cost report shows offshore wind costs have fallen. Support costs are determined by a combination of the Government’s view of generation costs and by competitive allocation. We expect both of these to further drive down support costs for future projects. At Budget 2016, we announced that the reserve prices for offshore wind will fall from £105/MWh...

No projects started deploying in 2015/16 so no payments were made.
Viscount Hanworth: ..., and on which the rewards of the private investors are based, can or ought to be the rate that applies to commercial investment projects. That rate, according to the Government’s methodology of levelised costs, is at an exorbitant 10%, which is appropriate only to high commercial risks. Investment in national infrastructure is not associated with commercial risks, and the risks that...
Andrea Leadsom: ...approach to CCS in due course, informed by the findings from Lord Oxburgh’s CCS Advisory Group. In comparing the costs of other low-carbon technologies in the future, DECC typically use the levelised costs of electricity generation. Levelised costs include capital and operating costs over the lifetime of a plant, as well as DECC estimates of projected fuel and carbon costs. We are...

The size of this fund and solar PV’s share of total FiTs capacity is shown in the following table: Financial Year Levelisation fund (nominal) % solar PV share of...
Nigel Adams: ...and, on that basis, merits further consideration today. Much of current Government policy is skewed towards assessing the affordability of different technologies based on what is known as the levelised cost, a narrow metric that only captures the cost of an energy project from construction through its lifetime. However, as the NERA report highlights, a number of globalised costs sit...
Rishi Sunak: ...be limited specifically to immature technologies to help them to become competitive in the market. Onshore wind is clearly now a mature industry, and according to the UK Energy Research Centre, levelised costs for wind have been reasonably flat for more than a decade. By ending the renewables obligation for onshore wind, we can divert our scarce resources for subsidies to less mature...
Andrea Leadsom: In comparing the costs of different electricity technologies in the future, DECC typically use the levelised costs of electricity generation. Levelised costs include capital and operating costs over the lifetime of a plant, as well as DECC estimates of projected fuel and carbon costs. The most recent levelised cost estimates are available in the DECC Electricity Generation Costs report,...
Paul Monaghan: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, when calculating grants and tax incentives whether her Department assesses the levelised cost of hydro plant over the expected actual lifespan or the shorter lifespan allowed in the levelised cost calculation when allocating grants and tax incentives.
