HC Deb 20 July 1994 vol 247 cc333-4W
Mr. Ainger

To ask the President of the Board of Trade by what authority and on the basis of what formula regional electricity companies are permitted to deduct from payments to the levy collector an amount equivalent to green ticket payments to Electricite de France.

Mr. Eggar

The Electricity Act 1989 provides for levy payments to the collector to be calculated by reference to the aggregate amount charged by each licensed electricity supplier for leviable electricity supplies only: "leviable electricity" excludes electricity which is generated by a non-fossil generating station that is not contracted within the NFFO.

Mr. Ainger

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps the Director General of Electricity Supply and the regional electricity companies are required to take to ensure power supplied by Electricity de France comes from non fossil-fuelled power stations.

Mr. Eggar

Regulations 8 and 12 of the Fossil Fuel Levy Regulations 1990 set out information that licensed electricity suppliers must provide to satisfy the Director General of Electricity Supply about the electricity that they supply, including non-leviable electricity.
