§ Mr. Peter DuncanTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will list the operational wind farm sites in(a) Scotland, (b) England, (c) Wales and (d) Northern Ireland, giving their output in kilowatt hours. [16333]
§ Mr. Wilson[holding answer 20 November 2001]: The list provided is based on the best available information but it may not be wholly accurate, up-to-date or comprehensive. Very small projects (below 50 kilowatts installed capacity) are excluded.
Output for individual wind farm sites cannot be given for reasons of commercial sensitivity, but the table provides the installed capacity of each wind farm in kilowatts.

§ Mr. Peter DuncanTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will list the proposed wind farm sites awaiting planning permission in(a) Scotland, (b) England, (c) Wales and (d) Northern Ireland, giving their predicted output in kilowatt hours. [16332]
§ Mr. Wilson[holding answer 20 November 2001]: The following list provided is based on the best available information, but it may not be wholly accurate, up-to-date or comprehensive. In particular, some of the wind farm applications shown may have been withdrawn, rejected or approved. There are also schemes in preparation, both onshore and offshore, where planning permission has not yet been sought.
Information on predicted output of the proposed wind farms has not been collected, but the table shows the capacity of each wind farm in megawatts (MW) declared net capacity.
