Electricity: Imports

Asked by Andrew BowieConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 27 January 2025UIN 24662

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate his Department has made of the quantity in GWh of electricity imports there will be in each year until 2035.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Annex O of the Energy and Emission Projections presents Net Zero consistent scenarios for the power sector, including annual net imports. [1] (Gross imports and exports are not published). These scenarios indicate that the GB power sector will shift from being a net importer of electricity to a net exporter between 2030 and 2035.
