The Energy Act 2004 requires the Hydro Benefit Replacement Scheme to be reviewed every three years, with the last review being completed in 2009.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
A Ministerial commitment was made to review the working of the Common Tariff Obligation in parallel with the Hydro Benefit Replacement Scheme review.
In undertaking the required 2012 review, DECC has considered the operation of the two schemes and is not at this stage minded to make any changes. However, before making a final decision, DECC would welcome comments by 12 April 2013 from stakeholders on this approach.
This is not a formal DECC consultation.
