Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.

Energy Bill

Earlier, I sought to show one way in which the link might be broken. We would be concerned about our ability to track the movement of biomethane gas in this way. I return to the principle. Surely the noble Lord accepts that ROCs are awarded according to the generation of electricity—not on the use of the electricity nor on the production of the fuel but on the generation of the electricity—but his amendment would open up a crucial change to the ROCs concept. The principle of ROCs and the renewable obligation within the framework are critical to our strategy. That is why we find the amendment unacceptable.
