Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
A lot of this drives costs on to consumers. My concern is around what I have seen where energy developers have not got the CfD that they were expecting or hoping for and then have either cancelled projects or reduced the amount of energy that they are prepared to generate. That is a commercial decision, but one reasons for aspects of centralisation is that it is largely not taxpayer subsidised—well, it is taxpayers in a lot of the cases—but there is also an issue around bill payer subsidy in how we get the energy grid that we need in the future.
