The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of the Office for Gas and Electricity Markets moving to weekly budget monitoring of the Green Gas Support Scheme, in the context of levels of funding for the sector in recent years.

Answered by Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

As the administrator of the Green Gas Support Scheme (GGSS), Ofgem is responsible for operational matters. Under regulation 4(14) of the GGSS regulations, Ofgem has a statutory duty to publish aggregate information relating to (but not limited to) applications, registrations, and budget on a quarterly basis.

From 8 June 2026, Ofgem has updated their website with both allocated and remaining GGSS budget on a weekly basis, providing prospective applicants with up-to-date information.
