HC Deb 19 December 1980 vol 996 c392W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what progress he has made in identifying possible areas for demonstration projects for schemes of combined heat and power.

Mr. John Moore

Consultants working on behalf of the Department of Energy are currently examining the potential for combined district heating and power generation of the areas where the local authority concerned has expressed an interest in participating in the Government's CHP feasibility programme. An announcement will be made in the new year of the five or six areas where further work under this programme will be carried out.
