National Energy System Operator
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what discussions (a) Ministers, (b) special advisors, and (c) officials in his Department had with the National Energy System Operator on modelling assumptions in the Clean Power 2030 report.
Answered by Michael Shanks
NESO is operationally independent from Government and decisions relating to modelling assumptions are not made by the Department. Earlier this year the Government commissioned the National Energy System Operator (NESO) to provide independent advice on achieving a zero-carbon electricity system by 2030. NESO consulted publicly in September and October on its approach and assumptions. The Government continues to engage with NESO and other key stakeholders in developing our Clean Power 2030 Action Plan.
