HC Deb 30 March 1987 vol 113 c388W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what plans there are to increase the coal burning capacity of power stations in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Viggers

The Kilroot power station is currently being converted from oil to dual oil/coal firing. In addition further coal and dual oil/coal-fired capacity is being considered in the evaluation of options for new generating capacity required in the mid-1990s.
