HC Deb 15 January 1976 vol 903 c226W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what plans he has to utilise heat generated by power stations and then dissipated in the air or water.

Mr. Eadie

The electricity supply industry is studying a number of specific schemes for the utilisation of reject heat from power stations. We are awaiting the report of the group chaired by our Chief Scientist which is studying the future role of combined heat and power in the United Kingdom before deciding whether any Government action is required.
