Text

I thank the Minister. The Economy Committee recently received evidence from Transmission Investment, which informed us that the failure to produce proper policy on interconnection is placing the delivery of its interconnector at risk. This is a multimillion-pound investment that will lower electricity prices, provide additional energy security and support decarbonisation. What is the Department doing to support such investments? Will the Minister concede that her Department has not acted quickly enough to facilitate the drive to net zero?
