Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth Department for Business, Energy & pubaccom@parliament.gov.uk Chair, Public Accounts 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 most recently on the 17th May, 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 All but one of the letters of credit provided to Bulb expire at the end of July and this letter refers to issuing their replacements. Attached at Annex A to this letter are details of the new letters of credit which have been issued and details of an amendment to the letter of credit which is not expiring in July. Parliament will be informed via a Written Ministerial Statement and Departmental Minutes for the Contingent Liabilities. I am writing in equivalent terms to Darren Jones as Chair of the BEIS Select 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
In April 2017, the Solberg Government submitted the white paper National Transport Plan 2018-2029 (Meld. St. 33 (2016-2017)) to the Norwegian Parliament. One of the main goals of this plan is "Reducing climate emissions in line with the transition to a low-carbon society and reducing other negative environmental impacts", and for the 12-year period, the following goal has been adopted: "Reducing climate emissions in line with the Norwegian climate targets". In a white paper from 2017 (Meld. St. 41 (2016-2017), the Government set a working target of a cut of 35-40 % in emissions from the transport sector by 2030 compared with 2005 in order to support efforts to reduce emissions in the transport sector. This target is based on the assumption that the technological maturity of zero-emission solutions in different transport segments will improve so that they become competitive with fossil-based transport solutions. In their most recent political platform (Granavolden platform), the government has gone even further, and set as an ambition to reduce emissions from the transport sector by 50 % by 2030 compared to 2005. This ambition is also contingent on the technological maturity.
V. - The costs related to the fulfillment of the obligations relating to sales to customers who benefit from regulated energy sale tariffs are taken into account in the tariff changes adopted by the ministers responsible for the economy and the &#39;energy. This consideration cannot give rise to cross-subsidies between eligible customers and non-eligible customers. Vbis. - Under the conditions defined in this Va, the Minister responsible for energy may sanction the breaches that he observes, on the part of the persons mentioned in 1, of the provisions of this article or of the regulatory provisions adopted for its application. The Minister gives the person concerned formal notice to comply within a specified period with the provisions of this article or with the measures taken for its application. He may make this formal notice public. When the person concerned does not comply within the time limits set for this formal notice, the Minister may impose a pecuniary penalty on him, the amount of which is proportionate to the seriousness of the breach, the situation of the person concerned, the extent of the damage and the benefits derived therefrom, without being able to exceed 2% of the turnover excluding tax for the last closed financial year, increased to 4% in the event of a new violation of the same obligation. Sanctions are pronounced after the person concerned has received notification of the grievances and has been given the opportunity to consult the file and present his observations, assisted, if necessary, by a person of his choice. The pecuniary sanctions are recovered like the debts of the State foreign to the tax and the domain. The instruction and the procedure before the Minister are contradictory. The Minister may not be seized of facts going back more than three years if no act has been done tending to their research, their finding or their sanction. The decisions are substantiated, notified to the person concerned and published in the Official Journal. They may be the subject of a full jurisdiction appeal and a request for a stay of execution before the Council of State. Suspension requests have a suspensive nature. VI. - A Conseil d&#39;Etat decree sets the conditions for the application of this article, in particular the thresholds mentioned in 1, the content, nature and maximum share allocated to information, training and innovation programs, the terms and conditions for setting energy saving obligations, depending on the type of energy considered, the categories of customers and the volume of activity.
This Act provides rules concerning how property passes on a person‘s death. This includes reforms which relate to the rectification of wills; the effect of divorce, dissolution or annulment on a will or special destination; and the revival of a revoked will. It concerns, among other things, survivorship, the provision of new rules where there is uncertainty about the order of death, forfeiture, estate administration, protections for trustees and executors in certain circumstances and for persons acquiring title in good faith.

How to realise this transition is analysed by distinguishing the way we use energy in four energy functions: energy for space heating, energy for industrial process heat, energy for transport and energy for power and light. The Energy Report describes in detail our views on current and future developments of these energy functions within the context of our ambition towards 2050. Through this new approach we can focus our efforts for the energy transition. The Energy Report also announces the Energy Dialogue. This is an extensive public consultation, starting in April 2016 and formally lasting for three months. During this consultation all parties will have the opportunity to share their views on the future energy system and to contribute to the design of the policy agenda. Findings from this consultation will be presented by the end of the year in a so-called Energy Policy Agenda. The Energy Dialogue will also be instrumental in fostering the awareness of the energy transition in the Netherlands. The international context of our energy (and climate) policy is a central theme in this report. The Netherlands is fully committed to the European agreements for 2020, 2030 and 2050 and to the international climate change agreement. Our energy supply is strongly linked to the energy markets in Europe and the rest of the world. Well-functioning energy markets and international agreements are key to a successful energy transition.
Introduction and key messages • The UK's emissions fell by around 40% ( 365 MICO że) in the last three decades. In the next three decades, emissions must fall by 100% (522 MICO;e) to achieve the Net Zero goal. The Balanced Net Zero Pathway - the basis for our Sixth Carbon Budget recommendation - represents a decisive transition to Net Zero with over 60% of the necessary reduction to Net Zero achieved in the coming 15 years.
This Order amends the Plant Health (Scotland) Order 2005 to transpose and implement certain EU legislation relating to, among other things: It also amends general provisions relating to certificates) to remove the requirement for phytosanitary certificates or phytosanitary certificates for re-export to be based on an inspection performed 14 days before the date of dispatch of the relevant material and the period during which notice must be given of the landing of plants to which article 19B applies .
This Order makes consequential changes to primary legislation in relation to the commencement of various provisions of the Historic Environment Scotland Act 2014. The Order also makes saving and transitional provision in relation to certain of those changes. The changes concern the concern powers of Historic Environment Scotland in protecting natural and cultural heritage etc. (section 29 of the the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003) and its role as a consultation body (section 3 of the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005).
22 (1) Where power is conferred on an administrator by the regulations to impose a civil sanction in relation to a breach of regulations under this , the provision conferring the power must, subject to this paragraph, secure that the administrator must from time to time publish reports specifying- E+W+N.I. (a) the cases in which the civil sanction has been imposed, and (b) where the civil sanction is a fixed monetary penalty, the cases in which liability to the penalty has been discharged pursuant to paragraph 11(1)(b). (2) In sub-paragraph (1)(a), the reference to cases in which the civil sanction has been imposed do not include cases where the sanction has been imposed but overturned on appeal. (3) The provision conferring the power need not secure the result in sub-paragraph (1) in cases where the relevant authority considers that it would be inappropriate to do so.
It is for the Government to decide whether the currently legislated budgets are amended to bring them in line with the revised 2050 target or the 2030 NDC, but the Committee does not consider it to be necessary. Forthcoming revisions to the UK's emissions inventory will make existing carbon budgets more challenging. The setting of the Sixth Carbon Budget for 2033-37 in accordance with the Committee's advice will also require that the UK cuts emissions in line with the 2030 NDC to remain on track. Once the sixth budget is legislated, the trajectory towards it will have legal force given the requirement in the Climate Change Act that the Government prepare policies to meet the 2050 target and all legislated carbon budgets. Ideally, all future carbon budgets would be aligned with the pathway to achieve Net Zero by 2050. This would fulfil the intention of the Climate Change Act for these nearer-term budgets to ensure that action is on track for the long-term target. report and the UK's NDC for 2030 (implying emissions of 1,585 MtCO₂e, including IAS emissions, over the Fifth Carbon Budget period), as our best indication of what is required to stay on track to our recommended Sixth Carbon Budget and the UK's 2050 Net Zero target.

In relation to the period 2021-2030, the European Council agreed on the 2030 climate and energy framework in October 2014 and endorsed four important targets of which targets for energy efficiency and renewable energy were revised in 2018: (1) a binding EU target of at least 40% less greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, compared to 1990, (2) a target, binding at EU level, of at least 32% renewable energy consumption in 2030, (3) an indicative target at EU level of at least 32.5% improvement in energy efficiency in 2030 and (4) support the completion of the internal energy market by achieving the existing electricity interconnection target of 10% as a matter of urgency no later than 2020, in particular for the Baltic states and the Iberian Peninsula, and the objective of arriving at a 15% target by 2030. The agreement on the 2030 framework, specifically the EU domestic greenhouse gas reduction target of at least 40%, formed the basis of the EU's contribution to the Paris Agreement. The EU's so-called Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) was formally approved at an Environment Council meeting in March 2015. In May 2018 the EU member states reached an agreement on the effort sharing for the period 2021-2030, for which the formal implementation is pending. Under the EU burden sharing of the joint EU target for 2030 under the Paris Agreement, Denmark is in the effort sharing of the joint EU target for non-ETS emissions in 2030 - committed to a reduction in non-ETS emissions in the period 2021-2030 of 39% by 2030 relative to 2005. The EU is also committed to reducing its ETS emissions to achieve the 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 in total greenhouse gas emissions. The EU has also set itself the target of increasing the share of renewables in energy use to 32% by 2030. Denmark will allocate funds that sets a course towards a Renewable Energy share of approximately 55% in energy use by 2030.
The transport sector is the leading consumer of petroleum products, with nearly three quarters of final energy consumption, which has a strong impact on greenhouse gas emissions. Alternative modes to road transport represent only a small part of transport emissions. The use of renewable energy in transport is progressing: the share of renewable energies in the gross final energy consumption of the transport sector should reach 10% by 2020. This share was 7.7% in 2014.
These Rukes amend the Compulsory Purchase (Inquiries Procedure) Rules 2007 in provisions concerning inquiries and add a new rule on application of the Rules where a person is appointed under section 14D of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981. Section 14D of the 1981 Act provides that a confirming authority may appoint a person to act instead of it in relation to the confirmation of a compulsory purchase order to which section 13A of that Act applies. They als0, among other things, impose a new requirement on the authorising authority to inform the persons listed in rule 19(1) of the 2007 Rules of the expected date of its decision as to whether to confirm the compulsory purchase order and sets out the procedure to be followed where a decision notified under rule 19(1) is quashed in proceedings before any court.
These Regulations make provision for exemptions to the offence of unauthorised felling under Part 4 of the Forestry and Land Management (Scotland) Act 2018. section 23(1) of the Act (offence of unauthorised felling) does not apply to felling of a type mentioned in regulation 4. The exemption includes, for example, the felling of a tree situated in an orchard, garden, churchyard, burial ground or public open space. Exemptions do not always apply. For example, an exemption in regulation 4(c) does not apply to the felling of trees where at least 50% of the woodland canopy is comprised with a species of tree listed in schedule 1, or to the felling of trees in Caledonian Pinewoods as specified in schedule 2
Currently, 21,000 onshore wind turbines provide electricity to 10 million households in Germany and avoid emissions of 30.2 million tons into the atmosphere. It is assumed that by 2030, 25 GW of electricity will be produced in the trail parks in the North and Baltic Seas, which is equivalent to the annual capacity of 20 nuclear power plants. to increase the capacity of wind power plants in coastal waters, the procedure for registering investment projects is simplified. Over the next few years, investors will also be exempted from fees for the transit of clean energy through power lines. the federal government is supporting the construction of 10 offshore wind parks. For these purposes, in 2011, the state bank opened a preferential credit line in the amount of 5 billion euros. Great importance in the concept is given to the development of bio- and solar energy. According to some estimates, only the Desertec Industrial initiative project, involving the construction of giant solar power plants in Africa and the Middle East, is capable of providing 15% of the need for electrons by 2050. The project is estimated at 400 billion euros. network economy, it is necessary to build transmission lines to organize the supply of electricity from offshore wind parks in northern Germany to the central and southern regions 1. Increasing energy efficiency.
On 1 January 2005, a trading system for CO emissions from large industrial emitters. It is a 'cap
and trade' system, in which participants are assigned a set amount of allowances up front and are
required to report on their actual emissions each year. The EU ETS includes more than 11,000
power stations and industrial plants in 31 countries, as well as airlines. It covers around 45% of the
EU's greenhouse gas emissions. In the Netherlands, around 450 companies take part in the ETS. They are responsible for around 45% of the total emission of greenhouse gases in the Netherlands. In 2013, the EU ETS entered its third phase, running up to 2020. A major revision means that the
third phase is significantly different from the first two phases and is based on rules that are far
more harmonised than was previously the case. One of the changes is a single, EU-wide cap on
emissions instead of the previous system of national caps. Auctioning is now the default method for
allocating allowances. For those allowances that are not used up, harmonised allocation rules apply
that are based on ambitious EU-wide benchmarks for emissions performance. The ETS now also
includes more sectors (i.e. aviation) and gases (nitrous oxide, PFCs). Its allowances will be reduced
by 21% between 2005 and 2020 in order to lower the total emissions
In 2018, the ETS directive was revised to enable in order to achieve the EU's 2030 emission
reduction targets in line with the 2030 climate and energy policy framework. The revision defines
the fourth trading period as running from 2021 up until 2030 and includes a sharper rate for the
reduction of allowances in the period after 2020, as well as a reinforcement of the market stability
EU policies and measures The EU&#39;s 2050 transition plan for a competitive low-carbon economy set out gradual, cost-effective steps to reduce overall emissions by 80% by mid-century in EEA Technical report No 16/2014: Approximated EU GHG Inventory: Proxy GHG emission estimates for 2013
The proposal sets climate targets for the government. At the same time, it is a framework for the development, impact measurement and accountability of the policy that must lead to the achievement of the legally established climate objectives. The main objective of the proposal is to achieve a 95% greenhouse gas reduction in the Netherlands in 2050 compared to 1990 as a result and to achieve a 49% greenhouse gas reduction in 2030 compared to 1990 as an intermediate target. electricity production in 2050.
Guarantee of origin 1. Upon request of the renewable energy producer, ERE shall issue a guarantee of origin for each electricity unit generated by the power plant, after acquirement of the right to build the renewable energy power plant. 2. One guarantee of origin shall be issued in the standard form for an electricity unit of 1 MWh and it shall specify: a.
