Energy: Exports
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will take steps to make the UK a net exporter of power by 2030.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Government will shortly publish the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan which will outline our approach to delivering a clean electricity system which will ensure our energy security, help tackle the climate crisis, create good jobs and protect billpayers. NESO’s report on achieving clean power by 2030 showed that it is possible for the UK to generate more clean energy than it consumes, creating the scope to export excess clean power to other countries via interconnectors which will enable us to trade energy with some of our closest European allies.
