PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Hydroelectric Power: Feed-in Tariffs (4 February 2016)

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how the response provided by the British Hydropower Association to her Department's Consultation on feed-in tariffs was taken into account by her Department in the assumptions used to determine that hydropower load factors are site specific.

Asked by:
Ian Murray (Labour)

The load factor data used to calculate hydro generation tariffs were drawn from individual sites but then aggregated to calculate a load factor range on which to base the tariffs. This included data collected by external consultants and evidence submitted by various individuals and organisations, including the British Hydropower Association, in response to the consultation.
