The Utilities Bill And Renewable Energy

EDM number 216 in 1999-00, proposed by Peter Bottomley on 16/12/1999.

That this House welcomes the opportunity presented by the introduction of the Utilities Bill to deliver environmental improvements as well as serving consumer interests; recognises the importance of the Government's commitments to cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent. compared with 1990 levels; recognises the importance of renewable energy generation in meeting this target; considers that provision should be made for small-scale grid-connected renewable systems and net metering, which would ensure that small-scale renewable generators are paid at least the same for their exported clean energy as they pay for the electricity they import; and calls for measures to stimulate the rapid growth of the United Kingdom market for renewable electricity from sun, wind, wave, biomass, combined heat and power and hydro.

This motion has been signed by a total of 123 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
