Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government will they ensure that the "Energy Independence Bill" proposed in the King's Speech made on 13 May includes provisions to augment energy storage through new pumped-storage hydroelectric schemes.

The Energy Independence Bill will legislate for the powers the government needs to fight people’s corner and go further and faster on our clean energy mission. The full detail of the Energy Independence Bill and its policy measures will be set out in due course when it is introduced to Parliament.
