UK to fix biomass support for 20 years
"This provides the certainty that investors have been looking for electricity from dedicated solid and gaseous biomass, energy from waste, anaerobic digestion and advanced conversion technologies such as gasification and pyrolysis," the government said in a statement.
"Support will be fixed for 20 years, subject to the 2037 end date of the RO."
The government also said it wanted to speed up the introduction of smart meters and would consult with industry on how quickly the key equipment for more efficient energy use could be installed in most British homes.

TORONTO - Hydro One Ltd. says it has received antitrust clearance in the United States for its deal to acquire U.S. energy company Avista Corp.

Hydro One announced the friendly deal to acquire Avista last summer in an agreement that valued the company at $6.7 billion.
The deal still requires several other approvals, including those from utility commissions in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana and Alaska.
