uin	HL12789
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2019 answer text <p>BEIS’s 2017 Energy Emissions projections outlines that 11GW of electricity storage could be deployed in Great Britain by 2035 under the Reference Scenario. Up to 2020, the reference scenario reflects current power sector policies. Beyond 2020, the reference scenario includes assumptions that go beyond current Government policy. The results do not indicate a preferred outcome and should be treated as illustrative.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 23/01/2019 14:40:08 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
