Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether there are regions of the UK where it is not possible to build new homes due to energy supply constraints.

The Government is aware of lengthy timescales for connection to the electricity network in some parts of the country, that are affecting housing developments. The Government is working with Ofgem and network companies to improve the connection process and release network capacity to accelerate connections.
