Energy in Wales
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Welsh Affairs Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215037763
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
The Committee's major inquiry into Energy in Wales was published on 20 July 2006 (HC 867-I 2005-06) did not cover open cast mining. However there was a proviso that "should open cast mining in Wales be extended further, an in-depth assessment of the environmental impact of that process would be worthwhile". Following representations by the Opnecast Coal Committee of Wales and groups opposed to such developments the Committee decided to undertake this follow-up inquiry. It also took evidence on the development of sustainable technologies and measures to encourage microgeneration.

Energy in Wales
Author: Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Welsh Affairs Committee
Publisher: Stationery Office/Tso
ISBN: 9780215029911
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
UK energy policy is a strategic issue set at the national level and therefore is predominantly a non-devolved matter. The UK Government set out its thinking on the future of the UK's energy policy in its White Paper (Our Energy Future: Creating a Low Carbon Economy, Cm 5761, ISBN 0101576129) published in 2003. Given its position as a net exporter of energy, with an abundance of natural resources, Wales faces a unique opportunity to continue to play a vital role in the UK's energy supply. The Committee's report examines the current energy sector situation in Wales, focusing on energy supply issues, and makes a number of recommendations on matters that need to be addressed in order to maximise its development of energy sources and renewable energy. Topics covered include: UK Government and Welsh Assembly Government policies, including the carbon trading scheme and renewable obligation certificates; the coal industry in Wales and clean coal technology; nuclear power, including the decommissioning of Wylfa power station and options for extending its life; liquefied natural gas; wind energy, the environmental impact and planning issues, including the case of the proposed Gwynt y Mãr wind farm; wave and tidal power, and the future development of marine technologies; biomass; solar energy and photovoltaics; geothermal energy; and hydro-electric power.

HC 284 - Energy Generation in Wales: Shale Gas
Author: Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Welsh Affairs Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 0215072960
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Shale gas represents an opportunity for Wales but it must not come at the expense of Wales's natural environment. Both the UK and Welsh Governments must consider environmental risks, including the traffic and noise caused by commercial shale gas operations as well as the visual impact and other environmental risks associated with fracking. The issue of treatment, transportation and disposal of wastewater is a growing concern: toxic and radioactive water must not be allowed to contaminate water courses. The Government forecasts that nearly 70% of the UK's gas supply will be imported by 2025. It is vital that the UK identifies new sources of gas if it is to safeguard the UK's security of supply. Shale gas production across the UK is currently at the exploratory stage and there is no good data yet on the amount of shale gas in Wales. Should considerable reserves of shale gas be present-as industry representatives predict-it could be a decade before a viable shale gas industry is created in Wales. The UK Government and the Welsh Government should work with commercial companies and others to provide a reliable range of estimates of shale gas available in Wales and assess the overall impact of shale gas supply on the level and mix of energy produced in Wales and the UK. The Welsh Government should also begin to consider how the employment opportunities presented by shale gas production could be maximised
