Proceeding contribution from Viscount Thurso (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 January 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Security.
Energy Security
With regard to offshore wind, may I draw to the Secretary of State's attention the potential problem of the supply chain, in particular at the Nigg yard? Given that there is one turbine per platform, 100 platforms are required for a 500 MW installation, and the supply chain to deliver that number is not in place. I have spoken to Lord Hunt about this, and he has been very helpful, but I wish to draw it to the attention of the Secretary of State.
