Mr. Laurence Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how much (a) coal and (b) gas has been used for the
generation of electricity in the UK in each of the last five years for which figures are available; how much of these totals has
been imported; and if she will make a statement. [129943]
Mr. Timms: The available information is shown in the following table:
Selected fuels used for electricity generation in the UK
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Coal (million tonnes) Gas TWh Imported coal 1 (million
tonnes)
1998 48.6 267.8 9.7
1999 41.2 315.5 8.1
2000 46.2 324.6 14.1
2001 50.9 309.8 23.2
2002 47.7 326.3 19.4
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
1 These figures show the level of coal imports by electricity generators. Sources: Digest of UK Energy Statistics and major power
producers.
Although the Department collects information on gas supplied to power stations from dedicated pipelines from indigenous production
there is no central record for distinguishing how much of the gas that they take from the National Transmission System has been
imported as the origin of gas cannot be distinguished once it has entered the NTS.

Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry where the gas delivered to the UK will come from in (a)
2005, (b) 2010 and (c) 2015; and what percentage of the gas will be delivered from each location. [125578]
Mr. Timms: Future gas supplies to the UK will be a commercial matter for energy companies in the competitive marketplace.
The most recent view of the future gas supply demand balance anticipates that the UK will again become a net gas importer (on an
annual basis) after 2005. We have already depended on imported gas in some winter quarters. It is anticipated that the UK will
remain self- sufficient until 2005, with our import dependency expected to rise to around 50 per cent. in 2010 and 80 per cent. in
2015.
The UK already receives imports from Norway, and there are active treaty discussions with Norway that would facilitate further
imports. A proposed gas interconnector from the Netherlands would enable gas from there to be supplied to the UK. In the longer
term, British suppliers may contract for pipeline gas from Russia, from other former Soviet Union countries, from Middle Eastern
suppliers such as Iran, and from elsewhere.
The Energy White Paper noted that expansion of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market would contribute to diversity and security and
would provide competition to piped gas. There are three active projects considering LNG imports to the UK. One aims to bring LNG
from Qatar; the other two have not yet publicly committed to particular sources of gas. LNG imports could come from a variety of
Atlantic Basin or Middle East sources. Some of the closest include Algeria, Egypt and Nigeria--countries all with significant LNG
expansion plans.
The Energy White Paper also sets out our strategy for encouraging the development of a competitive international market place, and
for monitoring developments affecting the reliability of energy supplies.
