answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2023 answer text <p>Transmission network operators, in this case National Grid Electricity Transmission are responsible for delivering network infrastructure necessary to meet consumer needs.</p><p> </p><p>Those operators must assess the environmental impacts of the proposals, including any proposed mitigation designs and any consideration of alternatives. Any mitigation forms part of project proposals examined during the consenting process. The cost of any mitigation is the responsibility of the operator with the regulator potentially having a role depending on the extent of mitigation.. Given the Secretary of State’s role in the consenting process for nationally significant infrastructure, no assessment has been made by the Department.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 27/04/2023 15:52:04 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2023 answer text <p>National Grid ESO is the electricity systems operator. The timing of any consultation on planning is a matter for the developer responsible for East Anglia Green, National Grid Electricity Transmission, to determine. At this stage National Grid Electricity Transmission has not undertaken statutory consultation for this project, and it is my understanding that NGET have committed to carefully consider the recommendations of the independent ESO study ahead of their statutory consultation for this project. Given the quasi-judicial role of the Secretary of State in making planning decisions for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects, it is not appropriate to comment further.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 27/04/2023 15:50:43 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie
