§ Mr. Banksasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the electricity generating capacity for Scotland and the percentage currently being used.
§ Mr. Gregor MacKenzieThe rated capacity of generating plant now in commission in Scotland is 9,585MW of which some 2,300MW has been commissioned within the last three years and not all has yet been worked up to full commercial availability. The total maximum demand experienced so far this winter amounted to 6,014 MW; although this represented 62.7 per cent. of rated capacity, after allowing for outage for repairs, maintenance and other contingencies all available plant was in use.
