To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent estimate he has made of when the review announced by the electricity system operator of the offshore alternative to the East Anglia Green Energy Enablement project will be (a) concluded and (b) published.
Andrew Bowie
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The upcoming independent review into onshore energy infrastructure in East Anglia is the responsibility of Electricity System Operator (ESO) who have set the parameters and timescales for the study. This is not a statutory consultation or assessment.
The study’s terms of reference committed to commence work once the publication of results from the Offshore Coordination Support Scheme are announced, meaning a precise date is not currently feasible. The ESO then expect to have preliminary results after approximately three months.
