At this stage in the process, no projects have been agreed, but I would be happy to meet representatives from the council, particularly as they seem to be so forward-looking at how we can produce energy from environmental sources.

I thank the hon. Gentleman for that comment. As he knows, I met residents of the area some time ago to discuss their concerns. It is important that we look at energy regeneration to see how we can address the waste problem. It is not sustainable for us to keep digging holes in the ground and piling waste into them. If we can find alternative ways to use that waste which lead to a cut in the cost of electricity as well, that would be an important contribution to the environmental debate.

I am happy to give my hon. Friend that reassurance. The key objectives of the energy market is that the energy supply is competitive, sustainable and reliable. The reliability of supply is fundamental. In addition to the £59 million from the renewable energy fund launched by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State, £150 million from a new private sector fund for renewable energy has also been announced. That gives an indication of how crucial renewables are to energy generation and how important we think it is to focus on them.

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman did not hear the first answer that I gave. The announcement by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State of the new £59 million fund has already levered in £150 million. That shows the determination of Government to put our money where our commitment is. We have made that money available and made a financial commitment to renewables projects, and the hon. Gentleman will see the impact of that. I hope he will not vote against the increase in the budget for renewables.
