Ways and Means (Rate of electricity generator levy)

The Commons will vote on a motion to set the rate of the electricity generator levy, a tax on power generators' profits. This is a Ways and Means motion—a procedural device that allows the government to vary tax rates without a full bill. The motion determines how much revenue the levy will raise from energy companies in the financial year ahead.

The electricity generator levy is a key tool for funding energy policy and controlling windfall profits in the power sector. Changes to its rate directly affect energy companies' bottom lines, which can feed through to consumer bills and investment in generation capacity. The outcome shapes the government's fiscal space for energy transition spending and household energy support.
