Lord Jenkin of Roding
Conservative
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Why the updated transmission entry capacity register, published on 7 July by National Grid plc, which looks seven years forward at the demand for grid access, appears to have no entries related to new nuclear build apart from those of British Energy plc.
Baroness Vadera
Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform
It is for electricity generating companies to decide when to upgrade or build new transmission capacity and to make the appropriate arrangements with national grid. The published register only includes entries once an agreement has been entered into between the grid and the party concerned. It does not include details when an application has been made to the grid but not agreed.
Does this answer the above question?
