Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 January 2025

Debate

Great British Energy Bill

Contribution

This would then allow hydrogen turbines to produce power in the event of another Dunkelflaute at times of shortage. This would prevent the situation we had last week, when the potential generation and imported amounts of powers were only just able to keep up with demand. Unfortunately, when we are short of wind and solar, so very often are our friends on the continent. It is essential that blackouts are avoided at all costs and in this manner, it might be possible to do so. Would the Minister confirm that this hydrogen storage and generation is something very much under consideration in the current plans?
