The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate he has made of the number of renewable energy projects awaiting grid connection in (1) South Holland and the Deepings constituency and (2) Lincolnshire.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Information on projects holding connection agreements is available at TEC Register | National Energy System Operator for transmission projects and, for distribution projects, at National Grid - Embedded capacity register (Central and Southern Lincolnshire) and Northern Powergrid - Embedded capacity register (Northern Lincolnshire). Data is categorised by grid connection point, not geographic location of generation projects.
