Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills what assessment he has made of progress in the work of the Energy Technologies Institute.

Good progress is being made to fully establish the Energy Technologies Institute. Some £60 million of ETI funded projects are currently being prepared under its first technical programmes in ““Offshore Wind”” and ““Wave and Tidal Stream”” Energy. The ETI announced a further call in ““Distributed Energy”” and is holding workshops to help to develop further programmes, which will be formally announced in due course.
