Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism's impact on the cost of electricity for households and businesses in Northern Ireland.
This question was answered on 10th March 2025
The Government plans to apply the UK CBAM across the whole UK, including Northern Ireland, from 2027. The UK will continue to work with international partners, including the EU, to ensure our approach is implemented in a way that works for businesses.
The EU's CBAM could only apply in Northern Ireland with the agreement of the UK and in line with the democratic safeguards of the Windsor Framework.
