PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (23 November 2004)

Motion Details

That this House recognises that combined heat and power is one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing UK carbon emissions, especially in the industrial sector, enhances security of supply, boosts competitiveness and helps tackle fuel poverty, regrets the Government's disappointing record on attaining its target of 10 GWe generated through Combined Heat and Power (CHP) by 2010 and 15 per cent. of electricity for Government departments to be sourced from CHP by 2010; remains concerned that, despite the Conservative Government setting a target in 1990 of four GWe being achieved by 2000, there has been a marked reduction in CHP installation since 1997, with all major CHP developers having withdrawn from the United Kingdom market and over 2,000 jobs being lost; and urges the Government to set a realistic target for energy generated through combined heat and power and to develop the policies to meet it.
