Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Electricity Market Reform.
Electricity Market Reform
Capacity payments have resolved one problem the Secretary of State had, which was the falling-off of power in 2017-18, but they may have given him another problem, which is that there will now be another dash for gas. Many companies were holding off, with planning permissions in the pipeline or already approved, but they will now proceed with that investment. Can he be sure that the surge in investment for gas will not detract from investment for other renewables? In addition, will he make good an omission in his statement—that the emission performance standards will not apply simply to coal, but will also apply to gas?
