## Description

Ofgem requires the supplier to conduct an analysis / benchmark on four scheme areas to whether the 2015 assessment outcomes remain valid against the land criteria for wood biomass for the RO and the other renewable schemes administered by Ofgem which utilise the same criteria\. In addition, Ofgem is keen to benchmark two new schemes - KZR INiG and SURE - which are both recognised as voluntary schemes by the European Commission under the European Renewable Energy Directive \(Directive2019/2001\)\.
