§ Mr. Cookasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will publish in the Official Report the latest estimates of cost per unit of electricity from wave energy provided by his consulting engineers; and if he will place a copy of their reports in the Library.
§ Mr. John MooreThe most recent estimates put the cost of generating electricity from wave energy in the range 5-15 p/kwh. These estimates, which were reported at the conference on wave energy held at Maidenhead in December 1979, are based on reports from consultants. A copy of the conference proceedings will be placed in the Library of the House.
