Renewable Energy: EU Law
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government, in light of their commitment to dynamic alignment on rules governing the European Union electricity market set out in UK-EU Summit - Common Understanding, published on 19 May 2025, what assessment they have made of the United Kingdom's capability to meet the EU Directive 2023/2413 (RED III) mandate by 2030.
- Answer
-
We are negotiating an electricity agreement with the EU to reduce the cost of trading electricity with our European partners, strengthen the UK's energy security, support investment in the North Sea, and help deliver our Clean Power 2030 mission.
In line with the outcome of exploratory discussions, the UK and the EU will discuss the relevant rules relating to the promotion of renewable energy. Any commitments in this area, including those relating to Directive (EU) 2023/2413 (RED III), remain subject to negotiation.
The terms of any future agreement, including any assessment of its impacts, will be developed through those negotiations.
