Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will list by name and location, the fossil fuel power projects that have been built with the involvement of UK companies in receipt of ECGD assistance since(a) 1992 and (b) 1997; and which of those are coal-powered. [44620]

Ms Hewitt

The tables below list the project name, country and fuel type for which ECGD has provided guarantees since 1992 and 1997.

In addition, ECGD has provided Overseas Investment Insurance and other insurances for 11 fossil fuel power projects. These projects are not disclosed, since such cases are treated as commercial in confidence.

For most of the projects listed, the UK exporter is one of several contractors and ECGD is guaranteeing only part of the total project financing.
