Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment her Department has made of the potential of behind-the-meter self-generation, on-site storage, and private wire arrangements at data centre and AI campuses to alleviate projected grid power shortfalls.

DSIT is working closely with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ofgem, and the National Energy System Operator to ensure that any policy interventions support both the timely connection of strategically important projects and the development of low-carbon power supply.
