HC Deb 24 February 1994 vol 238 c399W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will give details of the wind generator project on St. Helena.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The ODA agreed in 1992 to provide development aid funds for the provision of a wind turbine generator for location on Deadwood plain, St. Helena. The project included the procurement and installation of a 300kW generator and appropriate training and maintenance. Consultants were appointed to advise on the specification of the generator and assist with the tendering arrangements, inspection and commissioning. A tender exercise carried out in 1993 was unsuccessful and we are now considering other possible options for meeting the requirement.
