Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitehead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

Does my hon. Friend accept that different forms of incentive are needed to ensure that renewable gas is either put into the system—which I think is the right way forward—or used in a way other than indirectly to get ROCs by generating electricity? Such incentives either already exist under the current RO system or could easily be organised using a feed-in tariff that would apply primarily to microgeneration. Does he think that either a renewable gas obligation or some form of obligation concerning the efficient use of heat would be appropriate?
