Written Answers
Renewable Energy: Scotland
Asked by: Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party - Aberdeen North)
Monday 8th June 2026

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his Department's renewable energy targets that developers in the north of Scotland face higher transmission charges than those in southern England, in the context of the region possessing some of Europe's greatest renewable energy resources.

Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

Electricity transmission charging arrangements are a matter for Ofgem as the independent regulator. Transmission charges are designed to be cost‑reflective, meaning they reflect the costs imposed on the network by generators connecting in different locations. Generators located further from centres of demand, and which drive higher levels of network investment, therefore face higher charges.

Our Reformed National Pricing (RNP) programme will deliver the necessary market reforms to ensure that planning and price signals work together, so that new energy sources are built in the best places and the grid develops in line with future need.

Wind Power: Planning Permission
Asked by: Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party - Aberdeen North)
Monday 8th June 2026

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what target timescales his Department has set for the determination of offshore wind and grid connection planning applications; and what steps he is taking to reduce delays in consenting for nationally significant energy infrastructure.

Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

In England and Wales, the Planning Act 2008 sets statutory deadlines for the Examining Authority and the deciding Secretary of State. These do not differ by infrastructure type.

The Government is taking multiple actions to speed up the planning process including in the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025, and in its response to the Nuclear Regulatory Review in March 2026.

Planning applications relating to the grid in Scotland are a matter for Scottish Ministers.
