On 20 May, the DESNZ Committee opened an inquiry into the government’s plans to decarbonise the UK’s power supply sector. The inquiry will examine proposals in the Energy Security Strategy, and the emphasis it placed on scaling up the supply of electricity from nuclear power and hydrogen technology. It will consider how these proposals were reached, and whether the strategy has hit the right balance between investing in these new technologies and existing forms of renewable energy supply. The committee will also deliberate on whether these proposals suitably tie into the government’s wider net zero policy objectives. In addition, the inquiry will ask whether there any further policy details and/or legislation required by the end of this Parliament and whether energy demand can be reduced and how much of an impact will this make on reaching power supply targets.
