Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether there is co-ordinated planning taking place within Government in respect of addressing potential power cuts in 2026 and 2027.

The UK has a highly resilient energy network, with diverse and secure electricity supplies; Government is confident that operators can effectively balance supply and demand in a wide range of scenarios.

Nevertheless, as a responsible Government we work continually and closely with industry and across Government to maintain this resilience, planning for a range of risks and to identify opportunities to mitigate the impacts of actual or potentially disruptive incidents.
