[HL2571]
§ Baroness Farrington of RibbletonThrough OFGEM, the Department of Trade and Industry has very recently received a request to conduct an investigation under Section 59 of the Electricity Act 1989 on the accuracy of the completion of the Fourth Renewables Tranche questionnaire by the applicants seeking planning permission for a wood-burning power plant at Newbridge-on-Wye. The department has not yet decided whether an official investigation under Section 59 of the Act is to be launched.
If it is decided to launch an investigation, then the points you raise would be fully addressed in any such investigation.
