Proceeding contribution from James Paice (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 May 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy White Paper.

Energy White Paper

The Secretary of State talked tantalisingly in his statement about local power generation and decentralised power, but—apart from just now in response to a question—he made no reference to biomass or biogas, both of which are renewables that we can produce from our own resources. One of the obstacles to their production is the fact that the renewables obligation is difficult to access for small-scale generators. Is there anything in the White Paper that will make it easier for those generators to access the renewables obligation, so that our biomass and biogas industries can really get going?
