Labour — Doncaster North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 January 2026

Debate

Gas-fired Power Stations

Contribution

The 2023 generation costs report published under the previous Government shows the levelised cost of electricity to build and operate a new gas-fired power station to be significantly higher than the cost of onshore wind, solar and offshore wind in the most recent renewables auction round. Renewables are a cheaper technology to build and operate than new gas-fired power stations.
