Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what major improvements to the electricity grid they expect to be in place by 2030.

By 2030, the Government expects major upgrades to Great Britain’s electricity network to increase capacity for new clean generation and growing electricity demand. This includes substantial new transmission infrastructure, alongside reforms to planning, strategic network design and grid connections to accelerate delivery.

The current transmission price control provides for £71 billion of investment between 2026 and 2031. The Government is also reforming the connections process to prioritise projects that are ready and strategically needed, while Great British Grid will support accelerated investment in critical network infrastructure.
