18 Feb 2025
The cost of energy Energy Security and Net Zero Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 8 Apr 2025) The committee has launched an inquiry into the cost of energy. The inquiry’s aims are:

19 Feb 2025
Building support for the energy transition Energy Security and Net Zero Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 8 Apr 2025) The ability of the Government to make difficult decisions and to change the way in which energy is generated and used in the UK will depend on being able to bring the population along with them. There is a vocal opposition to net zero (which includes energy transition proposals), that has grown in strength, with the potential to damage the political will to carry it through. This inquiry would seek to detail the objectives of the Government's plans for the energy transition, whether the public have the same understanding those objectives and if there is a willingness to accept potential short term, or long term, detriment in terms of finance and convenience to achieve that aim. |

20 Feb 2025
Revisiting the nuclear roadmap Energy Security and Net Zero Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 8 Apr 2025) The previous Government published Civil Nuclear: Roadmap to 2050 in January 2024. The roadmap committed to building a further large-scale reactor; delivering 3-7GW more of nuclear power every five years from 2030-2044; reaching 24GW of nuclear power on the grid by 2050 and developing government policy to support advanced nuclear technologies Like Small Modular Reactors. Witnesses to the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee’s 2023 inquiry on delivering nuclear power described the 24GW and building goals as more of a “wish list” than a strategy to achieve those ambitions. The new Government has not re-committed to the roadmap or these targets. The final investment decision to greenlight the new large-scale nuclear plant at Sizewell C is expected in the coming months. The result of the previous government’s small modular reactor competition is also due to be announced soon. This inquiry seeks to understand what the new Government’s nuclear ambitions are and what the roadmap is to achieving them. |
