A flexible grid for the future inquiry: ESNZ Committee holds session on locational pricing and strategic network planning
The fourth oral evidence session in the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee’s flexible grid for the future inquiry investigates the case for introducing locational pricing to the wholesale electricity market. It also examines the Government’s response to the Electricity Networks Commissioner’s report on accelerating the deployment of electricity transmission infrastructure.
Meeting details
The first panel focuses on the issue of the introduction of nodal or zonal pricing in the market. MPs are likely to explore with the witnesses on both sides of the debate the risks and benefits, and how it would impact consumers, businesses and investors.
The second panel features the Electricity Networks Commissioner, who reported to the Government in August on how to accelerate the deployment of strategic electricity transmission infrastructure. He will be appearing alongside a representative from Energy System Catapult, which informed his work.
