§ The Earl of Mar and Kellieasked Her Majesty's Government:
What is their policy on hydro-generation and the creation of more hydro schemes in Scotland. [HL4136]
§ Lord McIntosh of HaringeyElectricity generation from hydro and from other renewable sources makes an important contribution to achieving the Government's objectives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Renewables Obligation and the Renewables Obligation (Scotland) impose requirements on electricity supply companies to supply an increasing proportion of their energy from renewable sources. The responsibility for determining applications for consent under the Electricity Acts for power station developments in Scotland and for planning legislation in Scotland are both devolved to the Scottish Executive.
