Banding the Renewables Obligation

This consultation runs from 23 May 2007 to 6 September 2007.

In the 2006 Energy Review Report the Government announced a number of proposals for changes to the Renewables Obligation. These changes would provide differentiated support levels to different renewables technologies and give additional certainty on long-term Renewable Obligation Certificate prices. These changes to the RO will require new primary legislation and so will not be introduced until April 2009 at the earliest.

On 9 October 2006 the Government published an initial consultation document (see 'Related Links') on these proposals. This closed on 5 January 2007.

This latest consultation document published on 23 May 2007 sets out in more detail the proposals to reform the RO.

To inform this consultation document the DTI commissioned work on a number of aspects of these proposals. Copies of these reports are available under 'Related Documents'.
