§ Tom BrakeTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will list the fossil fuel energy projects that the ECGD is supporting including the(a) project name, (b) country the project is situated in, (c) the UK companies in receipt of support, (d) the type of plant and (e) start and completion dates of the projects. [31834]
§ Ms HewittThe table lists the project name, country, UK exporter, fuel type and the ECGD guarantee issue and final loan draw-down dates of the fossil fuel energy projects for which ECGD has provided guarantees since 1997.
In addition, ECGD has provided Overseas Investment Insurance and other insurance for 11 fossil fuel power projects with a total generating capacity of around 8,700MW. Details of these projects are commercially confidential.
ECGD does not normally hold information on project start and completion dates, but the guarantee issue date should correspond approximately to the start of project construction and the final loan draw-down date (where applicable) should correspond to the start of operations.
For most of the projects listed, the UK exporter is one of several contractors and ECGD is guaranteeing only part of the total project financing.
