Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of heat networks in reducing electricity grid constraints.

As set out in the Warm Homes Plan, we estimate that heat networks could save an estimated £5 to 7 billion in electricity distribution network savings alone by 2050. The department is working with industry to explore and quantify a broader range of electricity system benefits.
