Crown Estate Bill [HL]Contribution
The Crown Estate is not the relevant authority for granting such licences. As I noted earlier, the national grid and relevant transmission and distribution network operators are responsible for the UK-wide strategy on grid connectivity and it is National Grid Energy Transmission which grants the connection licence, with Ofgem as the regulator. The Crown Estate works closely with the National Energy System Operator and National Grid Energy Transmission to deliver export and grid connections aligned with the strategic spatial energy plan.
