Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 17 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill 2005-06.

As amended in the Standing Committee, further considered.

My hon. Friend is long on assertions; I hope that he can justify the assertion that he has just made. According to my information, average household consumption of electricity is in the order of 3.6kW. Obviously individual figures vary, and it may be that my hon. Friend’s house uses much more than 3.6kW, but my understanding is that domestic energy use averages 4,700kWh per annum. I do not pretend to be an expert; those figures are produced by the British Wind Energy Association, and a document in front of me confirms them.
