HC Deb 26 June 1986 vol 100 cc269-70W
Mr. Bruce

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list the declared net capability of the Central Electricity Generating Board which is located within the area of each of the 12 area boards.

Mr. Goodlad

The CEGB advises that the figures are as follows:

Area Board (area) Declared net capability (31 May 1986) MWSO
LEB 345
SEEB 6,023
SEB 4,340
SWEB 2,263
EEC 3,707
EMEB 9.856
MEB 3,354
SWALEB 4,078
MANWEB 6,073
YEB 9,843
NEEB 2,140
NWEB 704
Total 52,726

These figures are the latest available. The total is larger than that given in my answer to the hon. Member on 18 June principally due to additional coal-fired capacity at Drax and AGR capacity at Dungenness coming on stream since 31 March 1985.
