HC Deb 27 June 1995 vol 262 cc573-4W
Mr. Tipping

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list(a) the bids that were successful under non-fossil fuel obligations 1 and 2, (b) those projects that are now operational and (c) those projects that are currently under construction. [29907]

Mr. Page

The status of individual contracts is a commercial matter for the parties to the contracts—the Non-fossil Purchasing Agency Ltd. as agent of the 12 regional electricity companies, and the generators. The Department does not hold information on projects under construction. Aggregate information on projects that were awarded contracts under the first and second renewables orders—SI 1990/1859 and SI 1991/2490 respectively—and on projects that were operational as at 31 March 1995, is as follows:
