Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Worthington (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.

I thank the Minister for her response. I am glad we have restored our equilibrium. We have had a very good working relationship throughout this and I apologise for my—I slightly put it down to the heat, if that is okay.

I am grateful for the response. This was a probing amendment, and we recognise and welcome the Government’s efforts to have input into strike price setting. It is important to the functioning of this EMR package, and we hope that it does what it hopes to do. I acknowledge that there will be, I hope, opportunities to review those strike prices should it turn out that the first prices do not do what we expect.

The Minister mentioned strike prices for non-renewable technologies. I have seen from documents that we might expect some more information on strike prices for CCS and nuclear in early August. If confirmation of that could be included in the letter, that would be fantastic. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
