Energy and Climate Change
Written answers and statements, 25 January 2010
William Cash (Stone, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what progress he has made on the Government's commitment to raise the perception of energy demand from renewable sources to 15 per cent. by 2020...
David Kidney (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department of Energy and Climate Change; Stafford, Labour)
Good progress is being made in meeting our target. In 2008, the UK generated 2.25 per cent. of its energy (electricity, heat and transport) from renewable sources, up from 1.8 per cent. in 2007 and 1.5 per cent. in 2006.
In 2008, electricity from renewable sources grew by 10 per cent. with offshore wind generation growing by a massive 67 per cent. and onshore wind by 29 per cent.. Plant biomass grew by 39 per cent. over the same period.
It looks like the healthy progress in renewable electricity will continue. By the end of 2009:
7.5GW of renewable generation from a variety of sources was already in operation;
nearly 3GW more is under construction;
another 8.5GW has planning permission and is awaiting construction; and
over 10GW of future projects are going through the planning process.

EU: Energy Council
House of Lords
Written answers and statements, 25 January 2010
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Deputy Leader of the House of Lords, House of Lords; Labour)
I represented the United Kingdom at the EU informal Energy Council in Seville on 15 January 2010.The council began with a wide-ranging discussion on the possible contents of a new energy action plan (due in early 2010). Debate focused in particular on two areas highlighted by the presidency's questions-the internal market and low-carbon technologies-as well as the need to diversify further the routes and sources of EU energy supplies and ensure consumers were protected...
On low-carbon technologies, renewables and smart grids were consistent themes. Some member states supported specific cross-border projects such as the Mediterranean solar plan and the North Seas offshore grid initiative. Other technologies where it was felt EU action might be useful included: electric cars, biomass (in particular developing sustainability criteria) and carbon capture and storage. Most member states also referred to the importance of energy efficiency.
Ministers visited the Abengoa solar plant over lunch. This was followed by presentations on the EU's strategic energy technologies (SET) plan and on domestic solar energy, biomass and electric vehicles policy from member states...
The Spanish presidency concluded that there was strong support for progress on an EU energy action plan, as well as further work on the SET plan, during its presidency.

- Lord James of Blackheath: At the moment, we are using only some 40 per cent of the biomass potential of this country. The other 60 per cent would add three or four points of our achievable target for 2020, but we cannot use it because it is not accessible to the grid.

Written answers and statements, 12 January 2010
Hilary Benn (Secretary of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Leeds Central, Labour)
I represented the UK at the Environment Council in Brussels on 22 December.The council adopted conclusions on international biodiversity, focusing on EU priorities for forthcoming global discussions on the post-2010 biodiversity framework, which will lead to a new global target on biodiversity...
Under any other business, I raised the timber due diligence regulation, which is being handled by the Agriculture and Fisheries Council. I argued for the inclusion of a prohibition on the first placing of illegal timber on the Community market, and urged Environment Ministers to support strengthening the regulation in this way as it progresses through the legislative process. On biomass sustainability criteria, the UK supported the call from Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg for mandatory sustainability criteria.
