Written question asked by Stephen Morgan (Labour) on Tuesday, 12 March 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 14 March 2024. It was answered by Graham Stuart (Conservative) on Monday, 18 March 2024 on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.


Aquind: Electricity Interconnectors

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether recommendations made by Ofgem in its upcoming Window 3 cap and floor round for interconnector projects will be taken into account by her Department when making a decision on the AQUIND Interconnector Project.

Answer

In taking the decision on any application for development consent for a nationally significant infrastructure project, the Secretary of State will consider all relevant planning matters.

Given the Secretary of State’s quasi-judicial role in the re-determination of this application, it would not be appropriate to comment on any specific matters regarding the application.
