Energy: Prices
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment his Department has made of UK energy resilience to disruption to global gas or electricity markets.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The UK benefits from a strong and diverse security of supply and we continue to monitor the situation in the Middle East closely.
The Government works with Ofgem, the National Energy System Operator and the Gas and Electricity System Operators to monitor the energy supply horizon and ensure industry continues to have the tools required to manage supply and demand.
The Government is strengthening energy security by reducing dependency on volatile global fossil fuel markets and delivering a diverse, secure and clean energy system based on renewables and nuclear, backed up by unabated gas to be used only when essential.
