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 (December...

Andrea Leadsom: ...£850m (in 11/12 prices). Our central estimate of the cost to consumers of FITs in 2020/21 is £1600m (11/12 prices) in the ‘do nothing’ option of the consultation impact assessment. The FITs levelisation fund in 2011/12, indicating total annual spend on the scheme at that point, was £151m (also in 11/12 prices). Therefore installations accredited in 2011/12 or before are forecast to...
Nigel Adams: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment her Department has made of the potential benefits of using (a) total system costs and (b) levelised electricity costs to evaluate and prioritise different forms of power generation.
Andrea Leadsom: ...for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is responsible for safety regulation of the UK industry. Independent estimates for DECC suggest that a First of a Kind (FOAK) new nuclear plant is expected to have a levelised cost of between £79-102/MWh with a central estimate of £89/MWh. As nuclear reaches Nth of a Kind (NOAK) status levelised costs are projected to fall to between £67-89/MWh with a...
Andrea Leadsom: ...contribution to the UK energy mix in recent years but there is now enough capacity in the pipeline to help the UK to meet its 2020 renewable electricity commitments. DECC publishes estimates of levelised costs of various generation technologies, with projections to 2030. The levelised cost of a particular generation technology is the ratio of the total costs of a generic plant to the total...
Andrea Leadsom: ...of this investment that relates directly to replacing ageing plants. For DECC’s most recent published estimates of the costs per MWh for a range of generation technologies, please refer to the levelised cost estimates published in the Electricity Generation Costs (December 2013) report which can be found at the link below. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm...
Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth: ...reactors unattractive for landside electricity generation, when compared to a conventional reactor that has been designed specifically for this purpose. All of these are likely to add to the levelised cost of electricity generation from a propulsion reactor used for electricity generation purposes for the national grid, compared to a dedicated land-based reactor. These include the...

Baroness Verma: Estimates of the levelised costs of electricity generation for different technologies are published by DECC. The levelised cost of a particular generation technology is the ratio of the total costs of a generic plant to the total amount of electricity expected to be generated over the plant’s lifetime (per megawatt hour). Where relevant, estimates of electricity generation make an allowance...
Matthew Hancock: The levelised cost of onshore wind and large scale solar photovoltaics (solar PV) are expected to fall over time. These estimated cost reductions are reflected in the administrative strike prices for solar PV and onshore wind in the EMR Delivery Plan, which shows support for these technologies falling over the coming years. Under the CfD auction, it is likely that established technologies...
Michael Fallon: Although DECC does not specifically hold estimates of the manufacturing costs of onshore and offshore wind, DECC has published levelised costs estimates of various generation technologies on the DECC website since 2010. The levelised cost of a particular generation technology is the ratio of the total costs (including construction and operating costs) of a generic plant to the total amount of...
