The working paper published on 21 May was open for responses until 16 July and sought views on the Government’s proposal to require developers of low-carbon energy infrastructure to contribute to community benefit funds, a similar proposal to that which has been put forward by the noble Earl, Lord Russell. The working paper covered a number of issues regarding how that level of benefit should be calculated and how the benefit should be administered. These are the areas covered by the amendment. The Government are analysing the responses and will publish those in due course.
