Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitehead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Energy Providers.


Energy Providers

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way. I wonder whether he wishes to add the words ““combined heat and power”” to his thoughts on gas-fired power stations. I am thinking not just of the need to make any new gas-fired power station that should come on stream CHP-ready, but of the need to provide a heat network to deliver the captured heat from such a gas-fired power station, which would double its efficiency.
