The Bill commits the government to supporting low carbon electricity to the tune of £7.6bn by 2020, over three times the current level of £2.3bn for 2012-13.
The Carbon Capture and Storage Association, the Nuclear Industry Association and RenewableUK welcomed the introduction of the Bill, saying it "would help to unlock billions in investment in low carbon generation, enable the UK to meet its energy security and climate change targets, and create thousands of jobs"
