    Caroline Flint – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Caroline Flint on 2014-04-29.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the Oral Answer of 3 April 2014, Official Report, column 982, on energy markets: competition, what measures his Department has introduced to deregulate the energy market since 2010.

    Michael Fallon

    DECC keeps all its regulations under review to ensure that they are necessary, proportionate, and have the lowest possible cost on business, while protecting environmental and consumer needs. The Department reviewed all its regulations in the Red Tape Challenge Energy and Environment themes and identified 125 to be scrapped or improved by the end of this Parliament.

    In addition, the Department has reduced the regulatory burden for small domestic suppliers by raising the customer number threshold at which suppliers must comply with certain Government schemes from 50,000 customers set by the previous government to 250,000. Since raising the threshold 11 new companies have entered the market.

    Caroline Flint – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Caroline Flint on 2014-04-29.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the Oral Answer of 3 April 2014, Official Report, column 994, on energy efficiency, how many of the 600,000 households that have received energy-efficiency improvements received assistance under the (a) Energy Company Obligation and (b) Green Deal.

    Gregory Barker

    The number of households benefitting from energy efficiency measures installed through ECO and Green Deal are published in Table 1a of my Department’s monthly Official Statistics release on Green Deal and ECO statistics. The latest published figures show that, up to the end of February 2014, 569,234 households had measures installed under ECO and 883 had measures installed using the option of Green Deal finance. Some households may have had measures installed through more than one delivery mechanism and there is therefore a small level of double counting. Further installations that have been funded through the cashback scheme are also reported in Table 1a.

    Caroline Flint – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Development

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Caroline Flint on 2014-06-04.

    To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, if she will place in the Library a list of all projects supported by the International Climate Fund.

    The International Climate Fund is £3.869bn of climate finance, over 2011/12 to 2015/16, for developing countries to help them tackle climate change.

    The portfolio of International Climate Fund investments is growing and therefore additional projects will be approved and start up during the course of 2014/15. I have deposited a list of International Climate Fund projects up until 2013/14 in the House Library.
