Proceeding contribution from Lord Redesdale (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

On a point of clarity, I fail to understand what will change between now and the implementation of the directive in the grid. Will there be a massive change in the make-up of the grid that we have not known about in the next five years? Obviously, energy storage would be the holy grail. If the Minster is saying, on the one hand, that we are going to implement the EU directive, but, on the other hand, that we cannot do so due to question marks over the grid, what will change in that intermediate period?
