	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2015 answer text <p>I am aware of proposals to invest in concentrated solar power (CSP) projects in the desert regions of North Africa and the Middle East. The UK supports in principle such proposals as a means of providing local energy supply and economic development, reducing greenhouse emissions and potentially contributing to the EU’s security of electricity supply. We continue to monitor developments in this area. However, in present circumstances, geographical factors, costs, and the need to further reinforce electricity connections within the EU and linking the EU with third countries mean that the majority of Member States, including the UK, would not currently be in a position to benefit from imports of CSP generated electricity.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 09/01/2015 14:03:06 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2015 answer text <p>The UK fully supports EU efforts to bring about further energy interconnection, both within the EU and linking the EU with third countries, in order to meet energy security and low carbon objectives. Developing concentrated solar power (CSP) in North Africa is potentially a part of these efforts among many others, although more research and development is required to demonstrate further improvements in CSP technology. The UK fully supports EU work in this area, such as in the Horizon 2020 Energy Programme.</p><p>Geographical and cost factors mean that CSP development in North Africa is not currently of direct interest to the UK.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 09/01/2015 14:02:16 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd
