CONSERVATION, HERITAGE AND ENVIRONMENT -
STANDING COMMITTEE
Statement by Presiding Member

MR MOORE, by leave: I wish to inform the Assembly that on 14 April 1992 the Standing Committee on Conservation, Heritage and Environment resolved to inquire into and report on:

1. The potential for alternative forms of energy including solar energy and solar co-generation of electricity to supplement conventionally generated electricity in the ACT.

2. The resources and consumption of energy for home use and in commercial and industrial production in the ACT with particular reference to:

(a) energy conservation, and

(b) barriers to renewable energy resources.

3. Any related matters which may arise.

Madam Speaker and members of the Assembly, you may be aware that last year the Standing Committee on Conservation, Heritage and Environment put out a discussion paper on solar energy and solar co-generation of electricity. If any member does not have a copy, it is publicly available, and the committee staff or I would be delighted to provide you with one. That discussion paper was put out a short while before the end of the last Assembly. The committee feels that, considering the responses that we received, it is appropriate for us to continue with that inquiry. It gives me great pleasure to inform the Assembly that that is what the committee is intending to do.
