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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether it is his Department's policy that major emergency services sites are included on the Protected Site List under the Electricity Emergency Supply Code, in the context of potential energy consumption restrictions in winter 2022.

Emergency services of regional significance are included on the list of Approved Designated Services as set out in the Electricity Supply Emergency Code.

In order for a critical site or service to be placed on the Protected Sites List, the site must meet the criteria set out in the Electricity Supply Emergency Code guidance and apply to their local Network Operator.
