Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what emergency protocols are in place to manage domestic energy rationing during international supply shortfalls.

Great Britain has a highly resilient energy system with diverse supplies and the Government expects these to continue to meet demand.

As a responsible government, we plan for all eventualities and work with industry to prepare and exercise robust contingency plans.

The National Emergency Plan for Downstream Gas and Electricity sets out the established arrangements between Government, industry and regulators for the safe and effective management of gas and electricity supply emergencies.

The National Emergency Plan for Fuel contains a range of contingency measures that can be used to support fuel resilience during actual or threatened disruptions to fuel supplies.
