Question
to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the average rate payable under the Smart Export Guarantee for renewable energy generated by households was in the latest period for which data is available; and if he will make an assessment of adequacy of the responsiveness of rates available under the Smart Export Guarantee to market conditions.
Answered by Graham Stuart
Ofgem’s second annual report for 2021/22 found that 12 suppliers offered 36 different tariffs, including offerings of over 5p per kilowatt hour (which is in some cases higher than the FIT export tariff) and above the 3p per kilowatt hour average electricity wholesale price for 2020. The Government continues to monitor whether the market is delivering an effective range of options for small exporters.

Shotton Steelworks: 125th Anniversary
"I totally agree with my hon. Friend’s important point. Although Shotton is doing very well at the moment—touch wood—it is reliant on Port Talbot for the steel that it finishes. Without that, the business model does not work.
For decades, Shotton Steel has produced some of the finest steel products …..."Mark Tami - View Speech
