I will correspond directly with my noble Friend.</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">The latest figures on electricity supplied by interconnectors are available in the 2019 ‘Energy Trends: Electricity’, published by BEIS. In Q1 2019, net imports of electricity via interconnectors were 6.0 TWh for the UK. This is equivalent to 6.4% of total demand over the period. 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. We then secure all the capacity needed through the Capacity Market, ensuring we meet our reliability standard.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">In Northern Ireland, the Single Electricity Market operates as a single, shared wholesale electricity market between Ireland and Northern Ireland, with electricity flows between Ireland and Northern Ireland treated as internal flows. The Single Electricity Market’s capacity remuneration mechanism is working well to ensure security of supply of electricity in Northern Ireland.</ins></p> answering member printed Lord Duncan of Springbank question first answered 09/09/2019 16:27:01 question first ministerially corrected 02/10/2019 14:20:25 answering member 4686 label Biography information for Lord Duncan of Springbank previous answer version 135195 answering member printed Lord Duncan of Springbank answering member 4686 label Biography information for Lord Duncan of Springbank
