Earl Russell (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2025

Debate

Contracts for Difference (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Regulations 2025

Contribution

My Lords, I too speak in favour of the amendment tabled in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, against the Motion tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Wilson of Sedgefield. This SI makes existing large-scale biomass electricity generators eligible for contracts for difference. The Government argue that that is needed to prevent security of electricity supply risks after 2027, when the current schemes for many biomass generators expire.
