Written Question
Solar Power
Tuesday 13th March 2018

Asked by: Lord Mann (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

What change there has been in the amount of UK energy provided by solar power in the last two years.

Answered by Claire Perry

Solar PV is a UK success story, with rapid deployment over the last 7 years.

Over 99% of the UK’s solar PV capacity has been deployed since May 2010.

Latest figures indicate that we now have 12.8GW of solar capacity installed in the UK which is 4% of current UK electricity consumption.

This is an increase in solar capacity of 29% compared to January 2016 when it was 9.9GW.

Written Question
Coal Fired Power Stations
Friday 18th November 2016

Asked by: Lord Mann (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what support he plans to provide to communities where coal-powered power stations are to be phased out.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

Most of our existing coal stations are old and likely to close on economic grounds well before 2025. Setting an end date for coal is expected to help stimulate new investment into alternative energy sources, create new jobs in construction and operation for the next two decades, and contribute towards delivering a secure, affordable low carbon future. The Government aims to support those directly affected into new employment, including through the Job Centre Plus Rapid Response Force.

Coal Fired Power Stations
Wednesday 19th October 2016

Asked by: Lord Mann (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what proportion of UK energy supply he plans to be produced by UK coal-fired power stations in each of the next 10 years.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

Most of the UK’s existing coal fired power stations are old, relatively inefficient and require investment to reduce the level of damaging pollutants they emit. I expect to consult shortly on the closure of unabated coal stations.
