Energy and Climate Change written question – answered at on 9 May 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change with reference to the HM Treasury publication, Control Framework for DECC levy-funded spending, what estimate he has made of the maximum funds available for the Energy Companies Obligation in each of the next three years.
ECO will fall within the control framework for levies-funded policies only if it is classified as a tax and spend policy. Classification decisions are made by the Office for National Statistics which has yet to consider the classification of ECO.
DECC will not set the funding available for the ECO, rather DECC will set the outcomes the policy will deliver, allowing competitive pressure between the energy companies to keep delivery costs down.
We will be consulting on policy proposals, and their potential cost implications in the autumn.
