The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will confirm when his Department will publish a fully-costed plan to achieve a Net Zero power grid by 2030.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Clean Power Action Plan published in December 2024 outlines the Government’s approach to reaching clean power by 2030, including the need to deliver an estimated £40 billion a year of investment on average per year between 2025-2030.
