Committees

The energy grid and grid connections

Inquiry

The House of Lords Industry and Regulators Committee has launched an inquiry into the energy grid and grid connections. The inquiry will focus on the regulatory, planning and funding barriers to delivering energy infrastructure and the ability of the Government’s proposals to address them.  The Committee will consider issues such as possible legal challenges which arise as a result of reforms to the connections queue and whether a move to locational pricing could help to reduce the need for additional grid investment.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Friday 28 February 2025.
