HC Deb 13 April 1981 vol 3 c8W
39. Mr. Hooley

asked the Lord Privy Seal how many wind energy projects his Department is currently funding in developing countries.

Mr. Neil Marten

Financial assistance is being provided under the British aid programme for the manufacture and field testing of a British-designed pumping windmill in Kenya. We are also involved in a study of the likely demand for medium-sized wind turbines, in the 50 to 200 kilowatt ange, and the development of cheap and reliable instruments for measuring the wind power available to assist in the siting of wind energy machines.
