We hope that, by the year 2000, 1,500 additional megawatts of electricity generating capacity will be from renewable sources.
The ventilation system and lighting would consume several megawatts of electricity.
One windmill can produce three quarters of a megawatt of electricity.
I would stress, in any event, that the cable's total capacity is about 160 megawatts, compared with the 7,000 megawatts which we are currently losing.
It will have a generating capacity of 1,300 megawatts.
But there is absolutely no reason why four 500 megawatt power stations should not be built near conurbations.
In view of this new cheapness, will they increase the figure of 500 megawatts and build it up to get more from the same £400 million?
Therefore, for a 1,000 megawatt power station, the bill will be £200 million.
