  The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :That the [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2018/9780111169957 draft Renewables Obligation (Amendment) Order 2018], which was laid before this House on 4 June, be approved.
  
  The implementation of the reduction is via the Renewables Obligation system which places an obligation on licensed electricity suppliers to produce a certain number of Renewables Obligation Certificates to the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (Ofgem) in respect of each megawatt hour of electricity. Those suppliers who fail to produce sufficient certificates are required to pay a charge, the revenue from which is distributed to suppliers in proportion to the number of certificates submitted.
