HC Deb 10 June 1964 vol 696 c71W
Mr. N. McLean

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the actual on anticipated annual increases in megawatt capacity from generating stations in Scotland in each year from 1959 to 1970.

Mr. Noble

On the present plans of the two Electricity Boards in Scotland, which do not yet cover 1970, the annual net increases (actual or planned) involve a total net increase in output capacity from 2,533 MW in 1958 to 7,018 MW in 1969, and are as follows:—

Year Increase MW
1959 269 (Actual)
1960 150 (Actual)
1961 78 (Actual)
1962 284 (Actual)
1963 275 (Actual)
1964 375 (Planned)
1965 567 (Planned)
1966 534 (Planned)
1967 509 (Planned)
1968 866 (Planned)
1969 578 (Planned)

These figures include isolated hydroelectric and diesel stations which are not connected to the main transmission network but provide about 50MW.
