Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Swire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill.
Someone who erected four 10-m high wind turbines at a capital cost of £35,000 could put 16,000 kW back into the grid and receive an annual payback of £500 a year. There is no incentive inherent in that. Does my hon. Friend agree that if we genuinely want everyone to attempt to produce energy from renewable sources, we must move towards the German, or continental, model and provide incentives? Otherwise people will simply give up.
