The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what the cumulative capacity of applications now queued by Ofgem is in relation to the Green Gas Support Scheme since the scheme reached its budget cap.

Answered by Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

As of 2 September 2026, there are 15 tariff guarantee applications in the budget queue (https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/environmental-and-social-schemes/green-gas-support-scheme-and-green-gas-levy/applicants) and these have a combined maximum initial capacity of 199,285,200 m3. This is subject to change based on ongoing queue movement and there may be recent applications currently under review which have not yet been allocated budget or entered the budget queue.

In line with regulations, the Department will publish the GGSS budgets and corresponding levy rate by 31 December for the following scheme year.
