Elliot Morley's written statement of
18 December 2003
Combined Heat and Power targets
The Minister for the Environment (Mr. Elliot Morley)
In compliance with Section 5(1) of the Sustainable Energy Act 2003, I am specifying a target to source at least 15% of electricity for government use from Good Quality Combined Heat and Power by 2010. My officials will work with departments in early 2004 to agree how they will implement the target, taking into account the extent to which they use electricity generated from renewable sources. By the end of 2005, we will review the validity of the target to ensure it reflects the market's ability to deliver the level of capacity at the right price.
