HC Deb 06 February 1976 vol 904 c781W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what additional generating capacity the SSEB will bring on stream between 1976 and 1980; and what effect this will have on the Board's power station coal burn.

Mr. William Ross

During this period SSEB will commission the nuclear power station at Hunterston B (1000MW) and the oil-fired station at Inverkip (1890MW). The effect on the Board's coal consumption will depend on a number of variable factors including the price of coal relative to other fuels and the level of demand for electricity.
