HC Deb 30 January 1992 vol 202 c659W
Mr. Speller

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what assistance he will give to renewable energy projects in Northern Ireland in 1992; and when he intends to inaugurate a 20 per cent. non-fossil fuel obligation.

Mr. Needham

In 1992–93 an estimated £300,000 assistance will be provided for collaborative renewable energy projects in Northern Ireland. Additional assistance will be available to industrial and commercial organisations under the energy efficiency survey scheme. I hope to announce arrangements for a non-fossil fuel obligation in Northern Ireland in April.
