Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 June 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill.

I am extremely interested in what the Minister is saying. Is not one of the problems, however, that we do not have the infrastructure to do what he suggests? A few weeks ago, the Isle of Arran, in my constituency, was without electricity for a week. Even if it had its own generators, the substation is one-way traffic, and I understand that it would need a smart grid to use any energy created on the island. How will the Energy Bill help that island?
