The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the level of additional power supply that will be created for the new Universal Studios theme park.

The electricity networks in Great Britain are owned and operated by private companies and regulated independently by Ofgem. Specific details of the connection requirements, such as the level of power supply and associated substation for individual projects are held in private connection contracts between the relevant parties.
