Mr Meacher: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what proportion of electricity was generated from renewable sources of energy in each of the last 20 years; and what information his Department holds for benchmarking purposes on comparable figures for (a) Germany, (b) France, (c) Italy, (d) Spain, (e) the Netherlands, (f) Austria, (g) Finland, (h) Denmark and (i) Sweden. [3541]
Charles Hendry: The information requested is as follows:
Table 1 shows the proportion of electricity generated from renewable sources of energy between 1990 and 2009. Data for 2009 are provisional and exclude an estimate for non-bio degradable waste use.
Table 1 : UK Generation from renewable sources, 1990-2009 | |||
Total UK Generation (GWh) | UK Generation from Renewable sources (GWh) | Proportion of electricity generated from renewable sources (%) | |
Table 2 shows similar data obtained from Eurostat, for 1997 to 2007. However, this uses a different definition, showing renewable generation as a proportion of gross electricity consumption.
