Conclusion
We also asked about the impact of the Carbon Price Support on the amount of electricity the UK imports. The Carbon Price Support is levied on around 100 electricity generators located in Great Britain on the fossil fuels supplied to them. The departments confirmed that the tax increases the price of domestically generated electricity from fossil fuels compared to imports. They also said they had not assessed the impact of the tax on imports.54
