Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of the energy mix in (a) Newport West and (b) Wales.

Given energy moves between different parts of the UK to balance supply and demand, the Department assesses the adequacy of the energy mix on a national basis. The annual Statutory Security of Supply Report 2023 (December 2023) concludes that Great Britain is anticipated to maintain adequate supplies of electricity and gas to meet consumers’ demands over the short- and long- term.
