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 volume of geothermal power produced in the UK.
This question was answered on 11th September 2023
The recently published ‘case for deep geothermal’ white paper commissioned by the Department and the North East Local Enterprise Partnership draws on British Geological Survey data to identify areas suitable for geothermal power.
The Department will develop its knowledge through a substantial research project aimed at updating its geothermal evidence base and creating a data platform to support geothermal deployment.
