Renewables
Put that if there was no national commitment to reach the 20 per cent renewables target by 2020 it was asked why David Miliband had said last year that there would be 20 per cent target re electricity renewable supply by 2020, the PMS said that there were two separate points; one was that there was an overall EU target for renewables, which was about 20 per cent target for all power generation, essentially carbon emission; then there was a different 20 per cent target, which the UK had set, which only related to electricity generation. Therefore, the EU target was not just electricity, it covered all carbon emissions more generally, so it was a different 20 per cent to the 20 per cent David Miliband had talked about which was just electricity generation.
Asked if the target would be more like 10/15 per cent, the PMS said that we should wait and see; there were discussions going on within the European Union as to how that 20 per cent overall target was allocated between the member states.
