Consultation on details of renewables obligation banding
UK Government consultation (108 pages, 3.2M Microsoft Word) on the implementation of banding in the renewables obligation scheme. The changes are due to take effect from 1 April 2009, subject to State aid clearance and parliamentary approval.
Responses by Tuesday 30 September 2008.
In contrast with the previous consultation, the Government now proposes to allow existing generators using biomass technologies for which support is being increased to benefit from the increased support arrangements (subject to repayment of any aid received under other support schemes). Some affected generators had argued that the previous proposal was unfair and unjustified.
