Energy Supply
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will publish the latest modelling conducted by his Department or its agencies of (a) energy supply and demand and (b) network capacity constraints.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Department's Energy and Emission Projections are updated and published annually; these show projected energy demand and electricity generation under policies that have been implemented and those that are planned where the level of funding has been agreed, and the design of the policy is near final.
The National Energy System Operator (NESO) is responsible for managing network constraints and publishing constraint forecasts: *ETYS 2023. As set out in our Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, Government is working to accelerate the build of electricity network infrastructure to increase capacity and enable a cheaper and secure energy system for Britain.
