Renewable Energy: Imports
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of importing renewable energy from the Global South if there is a gap in domestic green power supply.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Interconnectors are the physical assets that enable electricity to be traded between GB and energy markets in other jurisdictions. We are currently trading electricity, including renewable generation, from Europe via nine interconnectors. The Government considers that interconnection should, and will, play an important role in GB’s future decarbonised energy system.
