Detail of outcome

We invited stakeholders’ views from across the UK on the implementation of the EU’s Indirect Land-use Change Directive into the Renewables Obligation.

We received 7 responses and these did not raise any significant issues with government’s proposed approach. The government response to this consultation therefore confirms the decision to implement the preferred approach as set out in the consultation document.
