Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the Government's policy is on an application from Aquind to join the list of projects of common interest for an interconnector project.
The Aquind interconnector project was included on the third EU list of projects of common interest, published in November 2017, and the Government supported the application of the project at that time. Selection of the fourth PCI list is ongoing, and the Government is currently considering its position on all candidate projects, including the Aquind interconnector.
