In Great Britain, as part of the Capacity Market process, National Grid Electricity System Operator assesses how much capacity will be needed in the years ahead factoring in the risks of particular technologies not delivering. This annual process includes an assessment of how interconnectors should be derated to reflect the likely reliability of electricity flow during times of stress.

The assessment must comply with international obligations, is reviewed by Departmental staff and relevant stakeholders, including environmental bodies and NGOs, and must be accepted by the Department before it approves the proposed operations. Details of projects under consideration can be found on our web page titled “Oil and gas: decommissioning of offshore installations and pipelines” on the gov.uk website.</ins></p> answering member printed Lord Duncan of Springbank question first answered 09/09/2019 16:26:48 question first ministerially corrected 02/10/2019 14:19:37 answering member 4686 label Biography information for Lord Duncan of Springbank previous answer version 135198 answering member printed Lord Duncan of Springbank answering member 4686 label Biography information for Lord Duncan of Springbank
