Wind Power: Reaps Moss

Volume 460: debated on Friday 18 May 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether the application by Coronation Power to erect a windfarm on Reaps Moss will be subject to ministerial approval. (137994)

Coronation Power’s proposed Reaps Moss wind farm would have installed capacity of up to 12 MW in total. Therefore the planning application will not be determined by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 as the installed capacity does not exceed 50 MW. The planning application is currently being considered by Rossendale borough council and Calderdale metropolitan borough council.
