Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment her department has made of the (a) number of sites, (b) installed capacity and (c) annual generation of landfill gas to energy plants that will lose Renewables Obligation support after 31 March 2027.
Based on information from Ofgem as at August 2026, the RO support of 312 landfill gas stations across the UK, with a total capacity of around 484MW, will end on 31 March 2027. A further 60 stations will continue after that date with a total capacity of around 71MW compared to around 265MW at present. The total reduction in capacity is forecast to reduce generation by around 1.7TWh in 2027/28.
