Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government what progress has been made towards the creation of an electricity grid interconnector between north-west and south-west Wales.
As part of the Network Options Assessment (NAO) which accompanied the Holistic Network Design (HND), the Electricity System Operator (ESO) identified the need for a new network reinforcement between North and South Wales. National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) is responsible for delivery of the required infrastructure. NGET is currently undertaking a detailed design phase to determine the exact route.
