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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what discussions she has had with the microgeneration industry and microtechnology producers on the replacement of the Feed-In Tariff scheme with the Smart Export Guarantee scheme.

In developing the new Smart Export Guarantee my Department issued a Call for Evidence on the future for small-scale low-carbon generation, a Consultation on the Smart Export Guarantee, and a Consultation on proposals to modify electricity supply licence conditions for the purpose of introducing the Smart Export Guarantee. Stakeholder discussions during these consultations included public events held in London, Scotland, and Wales.
