§ Mr. RedwoodTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what estimate she has made of the amount of existing coal-fired generating capacity which will be replaced by the generating projects to be awarded under the 5th round of the non fossil fuel obligation order. [18323]
§ Mrs. BeckettThe size of the fifth non-fossil fuel obligation order will be decided next year in the light of the quality and cost of the bids received. The impact of the new renewable generating stations will depend on their mode of operation, the competitive position of other stations and the level of demand that is required to be met. It is probable that little NFFO-5 capacity will come on stream before 2002–03.
