To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what recent discussions (a) he and (b) officials of his Department have had with representatives of Wrexham county borough council on construction of a gas power station on the Wrexham industrial estate; and whether the proposed power station will be eligible for financial support in respect of the installation of carbon capture and storage technology.
Charles Hendry
The Minister of State, Department of Energy and Climate Change
Neither I nor my officials have had any discussions with Wrexham county borough council on any proposal to construct a gas fired power station on the Wrexham industrial estate.
All proposals for funding under the CCS demonstration programme will need to meet the objectives and selection criteria for the programme.
We are working on the detailed design of the programme, including the objectives and selection criteria, and are aiming to provide further information by the end of the year.
