Offshore Industry: North Sea
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what definition his Department uses for new exploration in the context of a Transitional Energy Certificate; and whether that definition includes seismic activity.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The North Sea Transition Authority will publish detailed guidance on the application and assessment process for Transitional Energy Certificates in due course, including plans to ensure that the changes do not adversely impact seismic and other activity which is not for the purposes of oil and gas exploration.
