National Grid: Infrastructure
Asked by: Edward Argar (Conservative - Melton and Syston)
Thursday 23rd October 2025

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the equitability of National Grid's transition from the purchase of wayleaves to the purchase of easements with one-off payments for hosting grid infrastructure.

Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The government encourages voluntary agreements between electricity network developers and landowners as they can support enduring relationships. The government has not carried out an assessment of the equitability of paying landowners regularly under a wayleave versus a one-off easement payment and it is up to the parties involved in the agreement to assess whether the terms are equitable.
