Electricity Interconnectors
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to support interconnector infrastructure.
- Answer
-
Interconnector development is a developer-led process in GB. Projects are given regulatory approval through Ofgem, a process with no formal role for Government. We welcome Ofgem’s decision to approve five new interconnector projects, including two Offshore Hybrid Assets, in November 2024.
The Department is in regular communication with interconnector projects at all stages of development and we of course look to support their development where appropriate.
