	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2014 answer text <p>The Department has assessed the capacity for micro-generation of renewable energy of its buildings, particularly the installation of solar photovoltaic and solar thermal panels, on several occasions over the past four years. So far this has not proved as effective as energy saving measures in reducing the department’s carbon footprint. We are keeping this position under review. DECC has a very small estate and so the opportunities for micro-generation are limited.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 09/12/2014 16:21:54 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd
