Clean Energy: Scotland
Asked by: Lord Ravensdale (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Monday 10th March 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the decision in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan to allow only 700 megawatts of additional Scottish onshore wind capacity to connect to the grid between 2031 and 2035. Answered by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath The regional capacity breakdowns for transmission connected technologies required for 2035 as set out in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, connections reform annex, have been developed using ranges from the NESO Future Energy Scenarios 2024 net zero aligned scenarios.
The ‘Future Energy Scenarios: Pathways to Net Zero 2025’ document outlines NESO’s methodology in full detail. |

Clean Energy: Impact Assessments
Asked by: Lord Ravensdale (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Monday 10th March 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have undertaken an impact assessment of the decision to cap the supply of projects in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan and the risk of driving up bills by reducing competition. Answered by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath The capacity ranges set out in the Action Plan are not intended to cap supply of projects but, amongst other things, help prioritise the reform of the connections process. Today’s connections queue is significantly oversubscribed, with large volumes of some technologies and less of others.
It is vital that Contracts for Difference (CfD) continues to offer value for money to consumers and continue to deliver low prices, which is why auctions are designed to keep the process competitive.
Our reforms are aimed at improving the ability of the CfD mechanism to support a large volume of renewable capacity – particularly offshore wind – whilst maintaining competition, which provides value for money for consumers. |

Asked by: Lord Ravensdale (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Monday 30th June 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government when the alliance is planned to be procured to deliver the Midlands Rail Hub.

Nuclear Fuels: Russia
Asked by: Lord Ravensdale (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Wednesday 25th June 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made in bringing forward legislation to ban Russian nuclear fuel imports by 2028. Answered by Lord Wilson of Sedgefield - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Government has already committed to removing any Russian fuel and uranium supply to the UK by 2030 and officials continue to explore ways to re-emphasise existing commitments to divestment.
The procurement of nuclear fuel, including uranium and enrichment services, is a commercial matter for reactor operators. The Government works closely with these operators to ensure there is a secure and resilient supply for the UK fleet. All reactor operators must comply with UK domestic and international legal obligations, including any sanctions or trade measures in place against Russian-origin uranium.
The Government will continue its work with international partners to build resilient in nuclear fuel supply chains and to remove global dependencies on Russia. |
