Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent assessment her Department has made under the Review of Electricity Market Arrangements of the impact of locational wholesale electricity pricing on industrial manufacturing investment.

The potential impacts of zonal pricing formed part of the Government’s wider assessment of electricity market reform.

Previous modelling reflected the best available assumptions at the time of the July 2025 REMA decision. We intend to publish further analysis on zonal pricing and Reformed National Pricing by the end of 2026.
