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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what proportion of the forecasts for new renewable energy capacity in his Department's updated Energy and Emissions Projections 2016 report, published in March 2017, is comprised of (a) onshore and (b) offshore wind.

The Government does not release any breakdown of renewables projections. We have moved to a competitive allocation process for financial support to for renewable electricity through Contracts for Difference (CFDs). Disclosure may have a distortive effect on bidding behaviours and potentially affect value for money to consumers.
