Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of electricity grid miscalculations on housebuilding in England.

The calculation of electricity network capacity for new housing developments is a matter for housing developers and network companies. Guidance on network capacity requirements for housing developments has been published by the Independent Networks Association, whose members are responsible for the connection of around 80 percent of newbuild developments. Distribution Network Operators also offer online calculators for housebuilders to determine the network capacity they might require for their developments.
