Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth Department for Business, Energy & Chair, Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee Energy Supply Company Special Administration Regime – Bulb Energy Limited I and the Secretary of State have written to you on 25 November, 29 December , 31 January, 01 March and 24 March about the special administration of Bulb Energy. In order to protect Bulb’s customers, and to limit wider industry contagion, the Secretary of State agreed to initiate the Energy Supply Company Special Administration Regime (SAR) in respect of Bulb. This is a temporary situation and Government is working with the Energy Administrators to ensure value for money for consumers and taxpayers, including an exit from the SAR as soon as is reasonably practicable. As you know, Government financial support has been agreed with the company and Energy Administrators. This takes the form of a working capital loan which includes Contingent Liabilities in the form of letters of credit to reduce upfront cash requirements, and a guarantee facility in respect of borrowings incurred by the company during the SAR. This is for the sole purpose of securing the statutory objective of Energy Supply Company SAR, which is the continuation of energy supplies to Bulb’s customers at the lowest reasonable, practicable cost until such time as the SAR becomes unnecessary. Appropriate governance arrangements are in place to ensure value for money and that any financial support provided is the minimum necessary for the Energy Administrators t o discharge their The 29 December letter set out, in a confidential annex, the letters of credit issued to counterparties on the behalf of Bulb. One of these letters of credit expired at the end of February, and a replacement letter expired on 31st March. This letter refers to issuing another replacement. Attached at Annex A to this letter are details of this new letter of credit which has been issued. Parliament will be informed via a Written Ministerial Statement and Departmental Minutes for the Contingent Liabilities. I am writing in equivalent terms to Meg Hillier as Chair of the Public Accounts Committee and Mel Stride as Chair of the Treasury Committee. A copy of this letter goes to Gareth Davies, Comptroller and Auditor General and to the Treasury Officer of Accounts. Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth and Climate Change
Local authorities In October 2021, the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs launched a public consultation on a Green Growth Strategy for Northern Ireland 4³. The Green Growth Strategy is the Northern Ireland Executive's multi-decade strategy, balancing climate, environment and the economy in Northern Ireland. It sets out the long-term vision for tackling the climate crisis and will be underpinned by the provisions of the recently passed Climate Change Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 with which it closely aligns. This longer-term Strategy will be delivered through a series of Climate Action Plans aligned to carbon budget periods, the first of which is to be developed by the end of 2023 and which will set out a series of policies and proposals to achieve the first carbon budget for the period 2023-27. The Green Growth Strategy is currently awaiting sign off by the NI Executive. Additionally, The Path to Net Zero44 is Northern Ireland's current energy strategy and sets a long-term vision of net zero carbon and affordable energy for Northern Ireland by 2050. 43 Consultation on the draft Green Growth Strategy for Northern Ireland https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/consultations/consultation-draft-green-growth-strategy-northern-ireland 44 Northern Ireland Energy Strategy - Path to Net Zero Energy https://www.economy-ni.gov.uk/publications/energy-strategy-path-net-zero-energy
This publication provides the final estimates of UK greenhouse gas emissions going back to 1990. Estimates are presented by source in February of each year and are updated in March of each year to include estimates by end-user and fuel type. When emissions are reported by source, emissions are attributed to the sector that emits them directly. When emissions are reported by end-user, emissions by source are reallocated in accordance with where the end-use activity occurred. This reallocation of emissions is based on a modelling process. For example, all the carbon dioxide produced by a power station is allocated to the power station when reporting on a source basis.
However, when applying the end-user method, these emissions are reallocated to the users of this electricity, such as domestic homes or large industrial users. BEIS does not estimate embedded emissions however the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs publishes estimates annually. The alternative approaches to reporting UK greenhouse gas emissions report outlines the differences between them. For the purposes of reporting, greenhouse gas emissions are allocated into a small number of broad, high level sectors as follows energy supply, business, transport, public, residential, agriculture, industrial processes, land use land use change and forestry LULUCF, and waste management. These high level sectors are made up of a number of more detailed sectors, which follow the definitions set out by the International Panel on Climate Change IPCC, and which are used in international reporting tables which are submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC every year. A list of corresponding Global Warming Potentials GWPs used and a record of base year emissions are published separately. This is a National Statistics publication and complies with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. Data downloads in csv format are available from the UK Emissions Data Selector.

Manufacturers selling vehicles in the EU are subject to EU regulations (Nos 443/2009 and 510/2011) that set emission performance standards for new passenger cars and vans, as part of the Community's integrated approach to reducing CO emissions from light-duty vehicles. Under these regulations, new passenger cars should not emit an average of more than 130 g CO/km by 2015 and not more than 95 g CO/km by 2021. New vans should not emit an average of more than 175 g CO/km by 2017 and 147 g CO/km by 2020. New standards for 2025 and 2030 were adopted by the EU during 2019. Accordingly, CO2-emissions from new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles are to be reduced by 37.5 percent and 31 percent respectively by 2030 compared to average emissions 2021. In 2019 the EU has also adopted CO-emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles. Emissions from new heavy-duty vehicles in 2025 are to be 15 percent below the average for 2019, and 30 percent lower compared to 2019 by 2030.

These Regulations amend the Environmental Impact Assessment (Agriculture) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 so as to transpose Council Directive 214/52/EU amending Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment. technical amendments concern, among other things, the minimum consultation period, reaching a conclusion on the likely significant effects on the environment of the significant project, a co-ordinated approach on environmental assessments in respect of a significant project, etc.
The Regulations are organised VII Parts and 2 Schedules. The purposes of the Regulations (regulation 4) are to establish a sanction regime to deter, and provide accountability for, activities which, if carried out by or on behalf of a State within the territory of that State, would amount to a serious violation by that State of an individual's (a) right to life, (b) right not to be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, or (c) right to be free from slavery, not to be held in servitude or required to perform forced or compulsory labour. Under this definition fall as well activities carried out outside the United Kingdom by any person, or in the United Kingdom by a person who is not a United Kingdom person.
Lithuania signed and ratified the Paris Agreement in 2016. Under the Paris Agreement Lithuania jointly with the EU and its Member States took a binding target of at least a 40% domestic reduction in economy wide GHG emissions 2030 compared to 1990, by implementing the EU legal acts for the EU climate and energy policy targets till 2030, mainly through the EU emission trading system (EU ETS) and Efforts Sharing Regulation, as well as Clean Energy Package legislation. Moreover, cooperating with the EU Member States and other countries, Lithuania will promote the development of a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy in order jointly to reduce GHG emissions by 80-90% by 2050 and achieve climate neutrality in the second half of this century. The target will be delivered implementing the EU legal acts on 2030 climate and energy targets by all economy sectors, with the reductions in the EU ETS and non-ETS sectors amounting to 43% and 30% respectively by 2030 compared to 2005.

We need to act urgently. The future impacts of climate change depend upon how much we can hold down the rising global temperature. To minimise the risk of dangerous climate change, the landmark Paris Agreement of 2015 aims to halt global warming at well below 2°C, while pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C, increasing measures to adapt to climate change, and aligning financial systems to these goals. At the global scale, however, we are not presently on track to reach the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. Based on current national pledges, and assuming the level of ambition does not change, the world is heading for around 3°C of warming by the end of the century? To meet the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement, the world must collectively and rapidly reduce global emissions to net zero over the next 30 years. Success will mean we are less exposed to flood and heat risks and preserve our national security, our prosperity, and our natural world which are threatened by the global disruption of climate change.

Improve energy efficiency by 20%; of total greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. Whilst the EU ETS goal must be achieved by the EU as a whole, the ESD goal has been split into national goals to be reached individually by each Member State. In the ESD, national emissions targets are set for 2020, expressed as a percentage compared with 2005 levels. These targets have been converted into annual reduction target figures for the period from 2013 to 2020, expressed as Annual Emissions Allocations (AEAs). France's 2017 emissions level' came to 352,795,706 AEA, with a goal to reach 342,475,075 AEA by 2020. In 2017, the verified emissions of fixed installations covered by the EU-ETS (excluding aviation) were 110,902,243 tCO2, of which 4,060,464 tCO2 was for the aviation sector. With the total greenhouse gas emissions in 2017 assessed at 464,592,514 tCO2 (excluding LULUCF, in the KP format), the share of ETS emissions in France is of 23.8%. Beyond the 2020 goals, the EU has set goals for 2030. In October 2014, the European Council adopted in its conclusions the main items that form the EU energy-climate framework for 2030:

This Order introduces specific measures for the control in England of infestations of Ips typographus (Heer), which is a serious pest of conifer trees. It prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, the movement of susceptible material within or out of a demarcated area, or an infested or controlled area, as described in a notice published under the Order, without the written authority of a plant health inspector. It also contains provisions relating to inspection and enforcement.
7. In 2009, the EU established internal rules under the target compliance architecture - the "2020 Climate and Energy package" - that distributes the mitigation burden among the Member States and the sectors. The package is intended to combat climate change, as well as to contribute to a common energy policy after 2012. Therefore, besides reducing the level of GHG emissions by 2020 by 20 % compared to 1990, it therefore also defines headline targets in the energy field for 2020: reaching 20 % of clean, renewable energy sources in the final energy consumption, increasing energy efficiency by 20 % and, as part of the renewable energy effort, reaching, in each Member State, a 10 % share for sustainably produced biofuels and other renewable fuels in final energy consumption of the transport sector. Following controversial discussions on agricultural production dedicated to biofuels - fear of shortages and of increasing prices for food-related crops - the European Commission published, in October 2012, a proposal to limit global land conversion for biofuel production, and to raise the climate benefits of biofuels used in the EU. Accordingly, the use of food-based biofuels to meet the 10 % renewable energy target will be limited to 5%.

12 By continuing the current development based on intensive energy and resource consumption, the planet&#39;s resources are being depleted and its sustainability is threatened. In total, more than the equivalent of two planets will be needed to sustain ourselves in 2050, given population and current consumption trends. Specific measures and the contribution of various sectors of the national economy to the achievement of the goal of climate neutrality will be determined in the successive NEKP, as well as shorter-term sectoral planning documents. The courses of action are further developed below (see Chapter 6).

target in the ETS sector. Then there are targets outside the ETS (ESR). Emissions from EU non-ETS sectors must be
collectively reduced by around 30 per cent below the level of 2005. Individual targets within
the ESR range from a zero change in emissions in Bulgaria to -40% in Sweden. Slovakia,
despite its good economic condition in recent years, is likely to exceed its non-ETS target for
2020 by several per centage points. This is one of the reasons why Slovakia has increased its
target (-12%) for reducing non-ETS greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (enshrined in EU
legislation) in its 2030 Envirostrategy to a more ambitious target of -20%. According to
scenarios with additional measures (WAM) resulting from WB modelling, a reduction of EU
non-ETS GHG emissions by 2030 of 19.42% should be achieved compared to 2005. According to scenarios with additional measures (WAM) modelled in the SHMI, the
reductions in total emissions of non-ETS sectors should be 30.5% in 2030 compared to 2005
levels. It is important to note that based on the modelling in the WEM Reference
Scenario by the WB, emission reductions in non-ETS sectors will not be achieved, as
emissions by model will grow by 2030 (similarly by 2050) compared to 2005.
