Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Tombs (Crossbench). It was answered by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) on Thursday, 2 April 2009.
Energy: Power Stations
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what capacity of coal, oil and nuclear power stations is expected to be withdrawn from service by 2025; and what plans have been made for their replacement.
- Answer
-
My Lords, some 12 gigawatts of coal and oil capacity and 10 gigawatts of nuclear capacity are expected to be withdrawn by 2025. Industry is responding well, with nearly 10 gigawatts under construction and 10 gigawatts with consent to begin construction. Government policy, including recent legislation, aims to ensure the right framework is in place for industry to invest and we continue to review this.
