HC Deb 30 January 1952 vol 495 cc41-2W
Mr. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power the capital cost of providing one megawatt of new generating capacity, calculated at January, 1952.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

As the cost of constructing power stations varies considerably it is not possible to be exact, but a sum of £60,000 per megawatt represents a fair average figure for January, 1952.
