HC Deb 20 November 1969 vol 791 cc379-80W
Mr. Albert Roberts

asked the Minister of Technology which nuclear power station will be producing the cheapest electricity each year between now and 1972 and which coal-fired station and what will be the costs per unit sent out from each.

Mr. Alan Williams

I understand that in England and Wales the stations producing and expected to produce the cheapest electricity are likely to be:

Nuclear stations

1969—Sizewell and Oldbury (Magnox).

1970 and 1971—Wylfa (Magnox).

1972—Hinckley Point B (A.G.R.).

Coal-fired station

1969–72—Ferrybridge C.

Estimates of stations' future costs in particular years could be misleading.
