Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the effect of his Department's policy on onshore wind on domestic energy prices.

Domestic energy prices are impacted – both positively and negatively - by a wide range of Government policies. The Clean Growth Strategy sets out our ambition to secure the lowest electricity costs in Europe, particularly for domestic consumers, and also to deliver the Government’s carbon targets and ensure security of supply. Our policies for delivering clean growth generated an average net saving on household energy bills of £14 in 2016.
