Renewable Energy: Finance

Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change which 10 renewable energy projects have received the greatest amount of funding from Government sources in each of the last 30 years; and what the location of each such project is. [263056]

Mr. Mike O'Brien: The information requested is not held centrally and to provide an answer for 30 years would incur disproportionate cost.


27 Apr 2009 : Column 1131W

The following table lists the 10 largest renewable energy projects funded by DECC, CLG, DfT, the Research Councils and the Technology Strategy Board, and their

predecessors, since 2003-04. Grants are attributed to the year in which the project grant was first claimed, though most grants are paid out over several years.

Warm Front Scheme

Greg Clark: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change how many complaints regarding Warm Front installations his Department has received in each of the last 10 years. [257478]

Joan Ruddock: This Department, and its predecessor the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, has kept a record of all Warm Front correspondence cases since January 2007. The total number of cases received by the Department is approximately 1,750. However not all of these cases will necessarily be complaints. DECC has recently put in place mechanisms for recording and monitoring all complaints received.

John Mann: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change which 10 Warm Front contractors (a) received the most for work under the scheme and (b) installed the most (i) heating installations and (ii) radiators in each of the last eight years. [265988]

Joan Ruddock: The 10 Warm Front contractors who have received the most payment for work under the scheme during the most recent period for which data are available, (1 June 2005 to 28 February 2009), are detailed as follows. The tables list—alphabetically—the contractors who have (a) received the most payment for work under the scheme and (b) installed the most heating installations under Warm Front. It is likely that those installers who have installed the most heating installations will also have installed the most radiators during the same time period.

Contractors who have received the most payment for work under the Warm Front scheme:
