HC Deb 08 March 1990 vol 168 cc775-6W
Dr. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what is the reason for the allocation to Nuclear Electric of sites at Pembroke, Druridge bay, Denver, and the Maentwrog hydroelectric station in north Wales.

Mr. Baldry

Under section 66 of the Electricity Act 1989, the CEGB is required to make a scheme for the allocation of all its assets to its successor companies. The scheme, presently being prepared by the CEGB, will include unused sites.

I am advised that only part of the site at Pembroke is to be allocated to Nuclear Electric. Maentwrog hydro-electric station is to be allocated to Nuclear Electric for operational reasons associated with the use of cooling water from the adjacent reservoir of Trawsfynydd power station.
