RENEWABLES TARGETS

Early day motion 783, tabled 4 March 2004 by Stephen O'Brien (Conservative). Signed by 51 members.

That this House notes that the Government's targets for producing electricity from renewable sources are 10.4 per cent. by 2010, 15.4 per cent. by 2015 and 20 per cent. by 2020; but notes that the present target of just 3 per cent. is not being met, with the most recent figure achieved being only 1.8 per cent.; and calls upon the Government to explain how it plans to reach these higher targets given the present low capacity of renewable generators.
