Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the policy paper entitled Plan for Change, published on 5 December 2024, CP1210, what key performance indicators his Department will use to measure energy security; and how his Department plans to demonstrate its progress toward insulating households from international fossil fuel price shocks.

As part of the Government’s Clean Energy Superpower Mission, the milestone this Parliament is to secure Britain’s energy supply with home-grown, clean power, which protects the country from exposure to unstable international fossil fuel markets. We will measure this by being on track to achieving at least 95% of low carbon generation by 2030 in line with advice from the National Energy System Operator (NESO). The Clean Power 2030 Action Plan sets out the government’s further steps; key outcomes and progress against the target will be tracked in the run up to 2030.
