Renewable Energy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the impact of intermittent renewable energy generation on grid stability.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Government is confident that Great Britain’s electricity system continues to maintain high levels of resilience and strong security of supply. System operators have the tools they need to effectively manage the system in a wide range of scenarios as renewable generation increases.
This includes ensuring sufficient negative and positive reserves on the system to manage changes in generation or demand.
