question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what level of low carbon produced electricity they expect to be required by 2050.
tabling member printed	Lord West of Spithead
uin	HL1507
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2020 answer text <p>It is likely that electricity demand will grow significantly by 2050 as other sectors of the economy such as transport and heat are electrified, potentially doubling from today’s levels. In order to meet this increasing demand, whilst reducing emissions to low levels, there will need to be a substantial increase in low carbon generation – the Committee on Climate Change estimate a four-fold increase may be needed.</p><p>The forthcoming Energy White Paper will address the transformation of our energy system in the context of delivering net-zero by 2050.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 19/02/2020 15:39:19 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2020 answer text <p>The generation mix in 2050 will be affected by the approach to decarbonisation in other sectors, technology costs, the emergence of new technologies and the flexibility of the electricity system. It is not for government to prescribe the proportion of generation that will come from any specific technology in 2050; rather the role of government is to enable the market to deliver the levels of deployment required whilst minimising both emissions and systems costs.</p><p>The Energy White Paper will address the transformation of our energy system in the context of delivering net-zero by 2050.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 19/02/2020 15:38:26 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
