Crossbench
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of (1) the amount of electrical power that will be required to decarbonise UK industry, and (2) where that power will be required in the UK.
Lord Callanan
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
Analysis carried out for the Electricity Networks Strategic Framework found that industrial electricity demand in 2050 could range between 85 and 115 Terawatt hours depending on resource and energy efficiency, and fuel switching choices between electricity and hydrogen. This range builds on the two scenarios presented in the Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy, Annex 4.
This analysis will evolve over time and continues to be used to inform networks policy, including future regional industrial demand for electricity.
