Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will make an estimate of the amount of electricity generated in GW by (a) onshore and (b) offshore wind projects in Scotland that will be subject to price controls for gas distribution and electricity transmission under RIIO-2 in each of the next seven years.

Ofgem regulates gas and electricity distribution and transmission network companies through the RIIO price control framework. The current price control RIIO-T2 provides up to £40bn for investment in the network between now and 2026 that will support our net zero and energy security ambitions while protecting consumers. Electricity generation is not subject to the price control process.
