Compressed Natural Gas: Huntingdon
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 8 September 2025 to Question 71955 on Compressed Natural Gas: Huntingdon, what steps his Department is taking to help to continually (a) improve and (b) maintain the (i) resilience and (ii) security of Huntingdon Gas Compressor.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Government takes the protection and resilience of energy infrastructure incredibly seriously. We continue to work extensively with the energy sector, industry and other key stakeholders to identify and implement improvements to ensure energy infrastructure, including Huntingdon Gas Compressor, can safely operate and are resilient both now and in the future.
Ofgem is currently developing the RIIO-3 price control framework 2026–2031, which will set the level of permitted investment in maintaining and upgrading the gas network. This ensures companies can continue to invest in safe and reliable infrastructure, while keeping costs fair and transparent for consumers.
