§ Mr. BoswellTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how much electricity is currently being generated by projects contracted under the NFFO. [51766]
§ Mr. Battle[holding answer 21 July 1998]: Electricity generated from all NFF01–4 projects from 1 April 1997 until 31 March 1998 was 2,732 Gwh.
§ Mr. BoswellTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will estimate the savings in CO2, emissions from the use of (a) all power stations and (b) biomass power stations contracted under the NFFO. [51767] 154W planning applications have been approved. Of these, five are operational. Details of these NFFO3 projects, including their registered site addresses, are set out in the table. Comprehensive information of similar-sized NFFO4 projects' progress in obtaining planning permission is not yet available.
§ Mr. Battle[holding answer 21 July 1998]: I expect renewable energy projects contracted under NFFOs 1–5 to achieve savings in CO2, emissions of about 2 million tonnes of carbon. Ten to twenty per cent. of this will be attributable to biomass power stations, depending on the number of projects which are successfully commissioned.
§ Mr. BoswellTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many of the proposed power stations which have secured contracts under the NFFO have been refused planning permission by the relevant planning authority. [51768]

As at 31 March 1998 fifteen NFFO3 projects had been refused planning permission. Appeals had been lodged in respect of twelve of these projects, of which five have been dismissed. Comprehensive information about NFFO4 projects' progress in obtaining planning permission is not yet available.
