HC Deb 22 January 2004 vol 416 cc1385-6W
Mr. Djanogly

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will list windfarm sites in operation in Cambridgeshire, giving their(a) location and (b) output in kW hours. [149678]

Mr. Timms

As far as I am aware there are currently only two operational windfarms in Cambridgeshire. These are both single turbine facilities.

A 225 kW turbine operated by Fivestone Ltd. commissioned in September 1990 is located at Kings Bush Farm, London Road, Godmanchester, Huntingdon.

A 225 kW turbine operated by Wood Green Animal Shelters, commissioned in October 1993, is located adjacent to Priory Produce, St. Mary's Road, Ramsey.

Energy output in kWh on a site by site basis cannot be provided due to confidentiality undertakings between the site owners and Ofgem, for sites eligible under the Renewables Obligation.

Mr. Djanogly

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what percentage of electricity generated in Cambridgeshire was from renewable sources in each of the past five years. [149679]

Mr. Timms

Statistics for electricity generation are not available at county level. This is because such data would disclose information about individual private companies. Out of the 11.4 MWh of electricity generated from renewable sources in 2002, 1.3 MWh (11 per cent.) was generated in the east of England region that includes Cambridgeshire.
