Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to page 7 of the Government's response to the call for evidence entitled Facilitating the deployment of large-scale and long-duration electricity storage, published in August 2022, what her planned timetable is for consulting on revenue support mechanisms for large-scale and long-duration electricity storage.

As outlined in the Powering Up Britain and British Energy Security Strategy, we plan to put in place an appropriate policy framework by the end of 2024 to enable investment in large scale long duration electricity storage. We anticipate publishing a consultation on the policy approach around the end of this year.
