answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2024 answer text <p>National Grid ESO manages network constraints. In 2023, constraint costs were £1.4bn and the volume of balancing services used to manage constraints was around 12TWh. Data are not available on exact timing of curtailment and the split of costs between renewable and gas generators in 2023.</p><p>The Government is working with Ofgem and network companies to accelerate network delivery in line with the Winser recommendations and is halving the construction time of new transmission infrastructure from 14 years to 7, delivering the grid capacity needed to alleviate network constraints. The Review of Electricity Market Arrangements consultation considers several options which could help to reduce constraint costs, including locational pricing, electricity storage deployment and establishing constraints markets.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson grouped question UIN 22915 22916 22917 question first answered 25/04/2024 16:10:14 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2024 answer text <p>As well as supporting UK energy independence, low carbon hydrogen will be critical to helping British industries transition from oil and gas, provide greener energy for power, transport and potentially home heating. Government’s working closely with the oil and gas industry to achieve a managed transition, including through the North Sea Transition Deal. Deal recognises the world-leading skills of the sector and supply chain and key role it could have in helping deliver net zero and Hydrogen production ambition. The Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill sends a strong signal to support the continued investment necessary to our energy security and transition to cleaner technologies.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 24/04/2024 13:37:44 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie
