Trade and Industry written question – answered at on 18 December 2001.
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many requests to amend NFFO contracts to enable implementation Ofgem has (a) received, (b) granted and (c) refused; and in cases where they have been refused, for what reason.
This is a matter for Ofgem.
I have asked Mr. Callum McCarthy, the chief executive of Ofgem, to write to the hon. Member and to copy his reply to me, so that it may be placed in the Libraries of the House.
Ofgem, however, does not grant or refuse contract amendments as such amendments are a matter for the contracting parties. Ofgem has to assess whether any contract amendment would cause the project to cease to be a qualifying arrangement for receiving support from the fossil fuel levy. Each case is considered on its facts. If Ofgem decides that a project for which a contract amendment has been agreed has ceased to be a qualifying arrangement, that project will cease to receive support from the fossil fuel levy.
