To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will publish a risk register outlining potential system stability risks under Clean Power 2030 decarbonisation scenarios.
Answer
Michael ShanksThere are no current plans to publish a risk register. Great Britain has a highly resilient energy network. The National Energy System Operator has all the tools it needs to operate the electricity system reliably and can call on a range of technologies to balance electricity supply and demand, including gas-fired generation and flexible technologies such as batteries and demand side response.
