Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

My Lords, I have no hesitation in saying that we will do that. The interesting issue of non-renewable microgenerators was also raised, and the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin, mentioned the capital-cost problem of such schemes. We will of course look at that. Amendment No. 41 suggests that the feed-in tariff should also cover small non-renewable combined heat and power systems and that non-renewable CHP systems should be restricted to limits not exceeding those in Section 82 of the Energy Act 2004. That is a sensible approach which we would hope to incorporate within the government amendments that we will produce at Third Reading.
