Update: 22 December 2023
We have published new GGSS budget caps, production factors and inflation forecast effective from 1 April 2024, and made updates to the GGSS budget management guidance.
The Green Gas Support Scheme (GGSS) has several mechanisms to manage budgets and ensure value for money, while maintaining investor confidence to encourage deployment. These were set out in the government response to our consultation.
These documents provide more detail for applicants and investors on:
- the budget caps
- the degression process
- the Annual Tariff Review
- the Green Gas Levy
See also details of the Green Gas Levy (GGL), which will fund the GGSS.
