The Department has not estimated the additional electricity generation or network capacity required specifically from electric logistics vehicles. Ofgem is responsible for regulating networks to deliver for Net Zero. Under the most recent price control, Ofgem has allowed £22.2bn for investment in low voltage networks, including £3.1bn for network upgrades to enable technologies, like electric vehicles, to join the grid.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 18/05/2023 09:19:03 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie
