To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what the hierarchy is for loadshedding or supply curtailment in the event of a National Gas Supply Emergency; and what recent assessment she has made of the potential implications of that hierarchy for electricity generation and domestic consumption.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what the hierarchy is for loadshedding or supply curtailment in the event of a National Gas Supply Emergency; and what recent assessment she has made of the potential implications of that hierarchy for electricity generation and domestic consumption.
Great Britain has a highly resilient energy system and has never seen the declaration of a Network Gas Supply Emergency.
The procedures for Gas and Electricity Emergencies are set out in detail in DESNZ's Downstream Gas and Electricity National Emergency Plan, which is reviewed on a regular basis. National Gas Transmission have a range of tools to balance the system, and 'Load Shedding' of gas connections is a carefully considered process only required when all other commercial and emergency mechanisms have failed. To mitigate impacts as far as possible in the event of loadshedding, the most critical customers have supplies prioritised for as long as practicable and domestic consumers are disconnected only as a last resort.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment her Department has made on whether and the extent to which transmission-connected generators have experienced unexpected financial gains or losses as a result of changes to Transmission Network Use of System charges compared with the assumptions...

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment has his department made of the potential merits of injecting landfill gas biomethane directly into the grid rather than burning it for electricity on site, in the context of the situation in the Gulf.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment has his department made of the potential merits of injecting landfill gas biomethane directly into the grid rather than burning it for electricity on site, in the context of the situation in the Gulf.
Biomethane grid injection would not be suitable for most landfill sites due to the infrastructure required to treat the gas to make it suitable for injection or use as fuel, and to cover the distance from many sites to the gas grid. Most sites are too small to justify the capital investment needed to install this new infrastructure, as gas flows would decline before return on investment. In contrast, the electricity generation infrastructure already exists across these landfill sites.
Although no final decisions have been made, we intend to consult on proposals for transitional support for landfill gas generation shortly, and would welcome responses from those in the biomethane sector.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the review of AI deployment in electricity networks will include an assessment of the net effect on electricity demand of (a) AI-enabled grid efficiencies and (b) data-centre consumption.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the review of AI deployment in electricity networks will include an assessment of the net effect on electricity demand of (a) AI-enabled grid efficiencies and (b) data-centre consumption.
The Review’s Terms of Reference state that consideration of data centre energy usage is out of scope for the purposes of the review.
The Terms of Reference also state that the review will "assess the potential system benefits of AI including for affordability, energy security, flexibility, and decarbonisation, and the potential risks and challenges that could undermine delivery of these benefits".
Any recommendations to emerge from the review would be subject to their own assessments by Government, including the consideration of net impacts to electricity demand.

Data collected in 2025 and published by the National Energy System Operator shows 72.8 GW of capacity allocated to data centres in the GB connection queue across transmission and distribution. It is not currently possible to provide a count of individual projects.
Government recently consulted on measures to manage the current oversubscription of data centre connections, which is contributing to connection delays for demand projects of all types, and will publish its response in due course.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the Government plans to support electricity generation from landfill gas at large landfills where the RO accreditation is due to expire in March 2027.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the Government plans to support electricity generation from landfill gas at large landfills where the RO accreditation is due to expire in March 2027.
Government recognises that landfill gas generation can help to reduce methane emissions, and that the commercial viability of these generators could be affected by the expiry of RO support.
The sector is highly heterogeneous, with sites varying widely in both their cost profiles and the level of methane abatement they deliver.
Generators at larger landfills contribute a larger proportion of methane abatement in the sector, but may be less dependent on subsidy given their greater gas resource and economies of scale.
No decisions on scheme eligibility or levels of support have been taken. DESNZ intend to consult on proposals shortly, and any final decisions will be subject to robust value for money considerations.

To ask His Majesty's Government which Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment projects they expect to be completed by 2030.
To ask His Majesty's Government which Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment projects they expect to be completed by 2030.
While TOs are responsible for delivering Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment (ASTI) projects, Ofgem plays a key role in scrutinising delivery plans, setting the regulatory requirements and monitoring performance (including completion dates), against agreed outputs and milestones. As the independent regulator, Ofgem holds TOs accountable for the efficient and timely delivery of ASTI projects and can investigate potential non-compliance where delivery falls short of regulatory requirements. Government monitors the progress of transmission projects required to meet our goal of clean power through regular engagement with industry and regulators.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many megawatts of transmission connection projects in the Transmission Entry Capacity register have been completed to date, out of the total capacity currently in the queue.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many megawatts of transmission connection projects in the Transmission Entry Capacity register have been completed to date, out of the total capacity currently in the queue.
According to National Energy System Operator (NESO), as of 24 July, the Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC) Register included 81.7GW of generation capacity that has been built. 284.64GW of generation capacity has received revised ‘Gate 2’ connection offers (confirmed connection location and date) under the reformed connections process. The TEC Register will be updated by NESO as connection offers are accepted or declined.
