Liquefied Natural Gas: Imports

Asked by Andrew BowieConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 16 December 2024UIN 18590

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate his Department has made of the requirement for imported Liquified Natural Gas in each year between 2025 and 2030.

Answered by Michael Shanks

We expect UK gas demand to continue declining as we make Britain a clean energy superpower and accelerate to net zero. While the Department routinely assesses a range of factors that could impact future energy security, we do not hold departmental estimates on required volumes of imported LNG between 2025 and 2030.
