Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the capacity of his Departmental buildings for the micro-generation of renewable energy; and if he will make a statement.

The Department for Transport has already deployed some micro-generation of renewable electricity on its Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency estate in the form of photo-voltaic cells and wind turbines.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency are currently planning the installation of rooftop photo-voltaic arrays on three of their sites in Swansea.

The Department will continue to consider further future installations of renewable energy generation systems where they are economically viable.
