§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what discussions he has held with generators seeking to contract within the non-fossil fuel obligation regarding contract length; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryMy Department has frequent and regular contact with generators about non-fossil fuel generation, including contract length. I am confident that the regional electricity companies have the flexibilities they need to be able to offer acceptable contracts to generators wishing to contract within the proposed 1991 NEED Renewables Order.
