HC Deb 18 July 1991 vol 195 c261W
Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy how many wind farms have been established in each of the last three years in England; and what is the estimated annual subsidy paid to wind farmers.

Mr. Moynihan

The first renewables order under the non-fossil fuel obligation resulted in the first five contracts for wind farms being signed. These projects have yet to come to fruition and no annual subsidy has been paid to windfarmers.
