Committee Material Published 5 Jan 2023 ↗ View on Parliament

We recommend that the Treasury examine how a similar low-carbon Investment Allowance could be introduced for electricity producers paying the new temporary tax of 45%. (Paragraph 249) 90 Accelerating the transition from fossil fuels and securing energy supplies
