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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he has for further reforms to the Capacity Market as a result of the revision of new gas generation capacity in his Department's 2016 Energy and Emissions Projections report.

We have no plans at present to reform the Capacity Market in response to the report. The Capacity Market is tried and tested and is the most cost effective way of ensuring we have the electricity we need now and in the future. We are confident that it is providing the right investment incentives for a mix of capacity in the UK.
