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
One of the issues that I get lobbied on regularly by the power companies is generating capacity, an issue that has been raised by the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin. The problem is how to invest and deal with the risk of new generating capacity when carbon, which is one of the elements of sustainability, is not active within the regulator, which sees it as outside its remit. That is a major issue that will prevent people building power stations in future and fundamentally undermines many of the purposes of the Bill.
