Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the use of AI technologies in the modernisation of energy systems.

The Department is working at pace to understand and develop the opportunities AI brings to the energy system. The AI Clean Energy Strategy will be published in the autumn, and will set out next steps on reforms and a delivery roadmap.

In parallel, the Department has commissioned the AI and Clean Energy Champion to produce a review of AI opportunities in the electricity networks, due to conclude in June. This will study potential benefits and barriers to deployment.
