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 The Secretary of State and I have written several times about the special administration of Bulb Energy, including on the 29th December regarding issuing letters of credit. 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, and a swift exit 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 to discharge their Fourteen of the letters of credit provided to Bulb expire at the end of April and this letter refers to issuing their replacements. Attached at Annex A to this letter are details of these new letters of credit which have 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

These Regulations make provision about carbon accounting and carbon units for the purposes of calculating the net Welsh emissions account under Part 2 of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016, which requires the Welsh Ministers to meet targets for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases from Wales. The Regulations define which carbon units may be included in the net Welsh emissions account and set out how carbon units may be credited to the net Welsh emissions account. They also enable the Welsh Ministers to open “the Welsh credit account” and provide that any carbon unit that is to be credited to the net Welsh emissions account must be held in that account. The Welsh Ministers shall maintain a register containing details of the carbon units credited to and debited from the net Welsh emissions account and the details of carbon units cancelled.

The Government Programme of Prime Minister Sipil sets ambitious targets in the energy sector. It aims for increasing the share of renewable energy to over 50 % of end consumption, increasing self-sufficiency to over 55 %, phasing out coal use in energy production, halving the domestic use of imported oil, and bringing the share of renewable transport fuels up to 40 % (23.5 % of the fuel energy content). An effort will be made to achieve all this by 2030. This National Energy and Climate Strategy discusses the key starting points and objectives of the Government Programme goals, the adequacy of current measures for meeting its targets (the basic scenario) and measures by which its targets can be attained (the policy scenario). The strategy also specifies key measures for achieving the binding emission reduction targets in the effort sharing sector by 2030. These measures will be complemented and specified in the national medium-term climate policy plan in spring 2017. The long-term goal is a carbon-neutral society.
The cost of charging infrastructure has come down significantly over the last few years, and the cost for many innovative new on-street solutions can be as low as £200-£500 per unit. The maximum amount OLEV will fund per chargepoint is £7,500, but OLEV anticipates costs to be much cheaper than this in most cases. Demonstrating value for money consideration in the application is crucial, and prices will be challenged to ensure that they are appropriate.
Persons liable to civil sanctions E+W+N.I. 20 E+W+N.I. The regulations may make provision about the persons liable to civil sanctions under regulations under this and may (in particular) provide for- (a) the officers of a body corporate to be so liable as well the body corporate itself, and (b) for the partners of a partnership to be liable as well as the partnership itself, in such circumstances as may be specified.
II. - Repealed. III. - Repealed. IV. - The support fund for the development of the production and distribution of heat from renewable sources contributes to the support given to the production and distribution of heat from renewable sources, in particular from biomass, geothermal energy and solar energy, by injecting biogas into the transport and distribution networks, with specifications adapted and drawn up as of January 1, 2010, and by mobilizing lignocellulosic and agricultural resources. Substantial support will be given to heating networks supplied from renewable sources, including the use of water from deep mining reservoirs. The production of renewable energy from a heating network will be taken into account in all texts relating to construction and town planning, and in particular in the thermal regulations for buildings and energy performance labels, in the same way as the production of renewable energy in situ. A heat network substation powered by more than 50% from renewable and recuperated energies is considered as renewable energy production equipment. In situ heat recovery equipment is taken into account as renewable energy production equipment in all texts relating to construction and town planning, in particular in building thermal regulations. V. - The production of electricity from hydraulic sources while respecting the biological quality of watercourses is an integral part of the renewable energies to be supported. In particular, the development of pumped energy transfer stations is encouraged.
The government's strategy in terms of flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol has likewise required the consolidation of the most relevant institutional elements. The first measure adopted in this area was the creation of the Designated National Authority (DNA) by means of the Royal Decree Law 5/2004, of 27 August, later modified by Law 1/2005, of 9 March, which regulates GHG Emission Trading. It creates the Designated National Authority as an inter-ministerial commission in which the Autonomous Communities have a representative who acts as the designated national authority with defined functions, which include the issuing of letters of approval for CDM and Joint Implementation projects. In November 2004, the Spanish Government signed a letter of intent with the World Bank to invest 205 Million Euros for purposes of obtaining 40 Mt CO by means of the following Funds: the Spanish Carbon Fund, the BioCarbon Fund, and the Community Development Carbon Fund. Additionally Spain contributes to the World's Bank Programme of Technical Assistance to improve Projects qualification in Host Countries. Likewise, on October 10, 2005 an agreement was signed with the Corporacin Andina de Fomento (CAF) to implement the Latin American Carbon Initiative (LACI), which will allow the acquisition of 9 Mt CO eq in exchange for a public capital investment of 47 Million Euros. Moreover, on September 15, 2006, the contribution of Spain with 35 Million Euros to the Multilateral Carbon Credit Fund (MCCF) was approved; it was promoted and managed by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). On November 24, 2006 the Council of Ministers approved the participation of Spain in the Asia Pacific Carbon Fund of the Asian Bank of Development (ADB), with a contribution of 30 Million Dollars from the Ministry of Economy and Finance. After closing the first section of the BioCarbon Fund managed by the World Bank, Spain will participate in a second section with a contribution commitment of 5,200,000 US$, between 2007 and 2008, so as to obtain in return the maximum tons of CO that can be purchased with this amount. Together with these actions, it is important to emphasize: (1) the strong investment in carbon Funds managed by multilateral financial institutions which indicate the preference for Latin America; (ii) the use of support instruments in foreign trade, such as the Fund of Viability Studies (FVS) that finances viability studies made by Spanish
