Clean Energy: Northern Ireland

Asked by Claire HannaSocial Democratic & Labour PartyDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 3 December 2024UIN 16566

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the Clean Power 2030 Advisory Commission will consider matters relating to Northern Ireland.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Energy policy is largely devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive (NIE). As such the Clean Power 2030 Advisory Commission is focused on decarbonisation of the power system in Great Britain. However, we are keen to share learnings from this process with colleagues in Northern Ireland and will work with them to this end as NIE produces its own plan to decarbonise the power sector, which will receive UK government support.
