| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “I will keep it brief because time is running short. Before you were interrupted, Ana, we were having this discussion on AR7 and CfDs. There is quite a lot of demand from industry, saying that the budget was not big enough for AR7. How does the Department balance that demand from industry, “If we are going to make this …” | 82 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “On CfDs and allocation round 7, the Secretary of State kind of increased the budget after the bids did not come in. Why does he not do it the other way? Why does he not set a low budget and then increase it if he has to?” | 47 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “A cheeky last question. Tom, you mentioned the North sea; what would keep us going in the North sea for the next 20, 30 years if companies are facing 78% levies on their profits?” | 34 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “So we are locked into that?” | 6 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “If we got rid of ROCs or got rid of the renewable obligations that would have a huge effect on domestic bills, would it not? As Michael says, there is no mechanism to replace it as yet is there?” | 39 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Some people are making a lot of money out of consumers.” | 11 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Or the £500 per bill that is the energy sector’s profits from doing this?” | 14 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Michael, to go back to renewables obligations, you said that 16 GW of ROs is going to end quite soon and that 10% would move on to CfDs. Would it make sense to reform renewable obligations or turn it into something else or abolish it?” | 45 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “You have not added the £174 per household that comes from millionaires, electricity traders, profiteering, have you?” | 17 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “There is this £2.8 billion that we could have put to that as well.” | 14 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “The Budget gives £150 off bills by removing the renewables obligation, taking that off the bills and putting it into general taxation.” | 22 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “You said 15% of a bill is levies.” | 8 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “I think you just described GB Energy there.” | 8 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Thanks all for coming in. I have questions on renewable obligations and contracts for difference. First, I think I missed something at the very beginning. Susie, when you mentioned £2.8 billion coming into Treasury, where was that coming from?” | 39 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “The last panel talked about capital costs stalling us and you are telling us supply chain or uncertainty over contracts could stall us.” | 23 |

| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Adam, do you have any final thoughts on CfDs?” | 9 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “That is going into Treasury, but it is not being put into consumer bills?” | 14 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Is that why you put projects into the auction round that do not have planning consent already because you do not know what is going to—” | 26 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Tom, there are problems with it, but would you describe CfD as the gold standard internationally?” | 16 |
