§ Lord Hyltonasked Her Majesty's Government:
How many publicly-owned electricity generating stations there are; how many of these sell or make economic use of the waste heat they produce; and what proportion of the total waste heat is put to use.
§ Lord SkelmersdaleAt the end of December 1981 the number of power stations operated by the public electricity utilities in the United Kingdom was 199. Waste heat in the form of low temperature cooling water is supplied from Drax Hunterston and Hinkley Point power stations; steam or hot water supplies are currently provided from stations at Battersea, Coolkeeragh, Hereford, Marchwood and Spondon. The proportion of total waste heat used is a fraction of 1 per cent.
