Question
to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he plans to take to ensure the continuation of the Single Electricity Market on the island of Ireland in the event that the UK leaves the EU Internal Energy Market.
Answered by Claire Perry
The Government is committed to facilitating the continuation of the Single Electricity Market in any scenario. We are developing plans for EU Exit for the Single Electricity Market with Northern Ireland institutions, and these plans are being designed to provide the flexibility to respond to different negotiated outcomes, as well as the unlikely event of no agreement being reached.

Question
to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the possibility of the UK remaining a member of the EU Internal Energy Market but not sharing a common rule-book with other members.
Answered by Claire Perry
The UK is exploring with the EU the options for our future energy relationship. One option would be for the UK to participate in the Internal Energy Market (IEM). In this case, the UK proposes a common rulebook with the EU on the technical rules for electricity trading, such as the market coupling mechanism.
