Written question asked by Lord Berkeley (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) on Wednesday, 2 December 2009.


Ports: Electricity

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath on 6 November (WA 101), whether they accept that port estate owners have limited ability to positively influence erratic electricity usage of port tenants in absolute terms for (a) flour mills, (b) cement batching plants, (c) pipe coating companies, and (d) other high electricity users.
Answer

The Government do not accept this suggestion. The introduction of the CRC energy efficiency scheme on 1 April 2010 will clearly assign responsibility for reporting energy usage to one party and will encourage all landlords to work with their tenants, to influence use of energy on their property and to explore how a tenant’s energy consumption can be reduced. Any energy use emissions from the processes mentioned that are covered by a climate change agreement will be exempt from CRC.
