The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what the timetable is for the completion of the Second Hydrogen Allocation Round and the announcement of successful projects.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The next stage of the Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 process is the Invite to Offer stage, and we are working hard across government to begin this as soon as possible. We will be in touch with projects when this commences. We understand that many projects are at critical stages, and that certainty is important to support business planning, resource management and engagement with third parties.
