The Renewables Obligation represents the UK Government's main policy measure for stimulating the growth of electricity generation from renewable sources. [20] The Government envisages that 30% of electricity demand will need to be generated by renewable sources [ 21 ] in order for the UK to meet a legally binding EU target of obtaining 15% of ...
Suppliers meet the Renewables Obligation by submitting a certain number of Renewable Obligation certificates (ROCs) each year to Ofgem, which demonstrates that the certified electricity has come from a renewable source. If a supplier is unable to produce the required number of ROCs, they must pay an equivalent cash amount, the 'cash out price ...
Non-domestic consumers can avoid paying the Climate Change Levy by acquiring Levy Exemption Certificates from renewable energy suppliers. Since these are not required by domestic consumers, it is possible for the supplier to sell the certificates to the non-domestic sector, as well as selling the renewables obligation certificate and the electricity.
Generators of renewable electricity larger than 5MW remain eligible to earn Renewables Obligation Certificates within the existing Renewables Obligation quota mechanism. To prevent companies from moving large scale (for example big wind) projects from the ROCs to the Feed-in Tariff programme, measures were taken to discourage the breaking-up of ...
The UK Government announced in the 2006 Energy Review an additional target of 20% by 2020–21. For each eligible megawatt hour of renewable energy generated, a tradable certificate called a Renewables obligation certificate (ROC) is issued by Ofgem.

The older renewables get paid the high electricity price, which is linked to gas, and on top of that are given a fixed subsidy for every MWh they produce. They are on the so-called Renewable ...
There could be up to 20 GW of tidal range resource in the UK, able to generate 30 TWh/year or around 12% of the UK's electricity demand. [1] A recent review of the tidal stream resource in the UK and British Channel Islands supported the latest national-scale practical resource estimate of 34 TWh/year. At around 11.5 GW of installed capacity ...
