Original call for evidence

Call for evidence description

This call for evidence seeks views and evidence from biomethane industry, investors, trade associations and supply chain to inform the Green Gas Support Scheme’s 2022 Annual Tariff Review.

Responses will provide evidence for the re-running of the tariff-setting process and gather insight into the effectiveness of the scheme and its current tariff levels.

The Review, which we will publish by 1 September 2022, will inform the decision to increase, decrease or hold tariffs from 1 October 2022, ensuring that they deliver benefits and provide value for money.
