Warm Home and Energy Conservation Act 2000

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform what files his Department holds on the Warm Home and Energy Conservation Act 2000; and if he will make a statement. [210703]

Malcolm Wicks: The Department holds numerous files relating to the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Act 2000, including files relating to the Government's policies for tackling fuel poverty arising from duties under that Act.

Wind Power

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform what rate of installation of off-shore wind turbines will be required to meet the Government's 25 gigawatt target for renewable power generation; and if he will make a statement. [212415]

Malcolm Wicks: The Government do not have a target for 25 GW of renewable power generation.

At the spring European Council in March 2007, EU Heads of Government agreed to a target to supply 20 per cent. of the EU's energy—heat, electricity and transport—from renewable sources by 2020. Agreement has not yet been reached on the contribution that each member state will make towards this EU target. The Commission has proposed a UK target that 15 per cent. of its energy should come from renewable sources but agreement has not yet been reached.

On 10 December 2007, the Government announced the launch of a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) on a draft plan for up to 25 GW (installed capacity) of new offshore wind farms by 2020. Depending on the results of the SEA and the magnitude of impacts identified, the Government take a decision on what the acceptable level of offshore wind development is.

Developers would then be required to bid for site leases through leasing competitions to be held by the Crown Estate and, if successful, conduct their own site evaluations and undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment before applying for the necessary development and environmental consents to build an offshore wind farm.

The number of offshore wind turbines therefore required up to 2020 will depend on the outcome of the SEA, a future decision by the Government on the level of offshore wind generation, and on the size of turbines selected by developers for specific sites.

23 Jun 2008 : Column 151W

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform how many wind farm sites there were in the United Kingdom in each of the last 10 years; what the location is of each; what total installed wind turbine capacity was in each such year; what forecast he has made of such capacity in each of the next 10 years; and if he will make a statement. [212416]

Malcolm Wicks: According to the British Wind Energy Association, the total number of operational wind farms in the United Kingdom, at the end of each year was as follows:
