The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what impact has the decision to designate two AI Growth Zones in Wales had on NESO’s plans for improving grid connections in both (a) north Wales and (b) south Wales.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Both sites had grid connections being realised before 2030, so are already accounted for in NESO’s planning.
