UK-EU Customs Union
My Lords, I add my congratulations to the four maiden speakers on their excellent speeches. As they arrive and I depart, I feel in this debate a sense of Groundhog Day as we are replaying Brexit 10 years later. I wonder what the electorate would make of

COP 30
My Lords, I congratulate the Minister on his recent appointment and welcome him to the Front Bench. The Secretary of State in the other place is fond of talking of the United Kingdom as a trailblazer. As the shadow Secretary of State in the other place o

Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce Review
I am pleased to hear the Minister acknowledge that the Fingleton report makes it clear that government indecision and flawed legislation are largely to blame for nuclear regulatory failure. As part of this programme going forward, I think all sides of th

Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce Review
To ask His Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the report of the Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce Review.
My Lords, I thank the members of the committee for taking part in today’s debate and pay tribute to the committee for its report. As noble Lords across the committee know, the Government’s unilateral clean power 2030 target is putting extreme pressure o

Great British Energy: Nuclear Development
The Government’s commitment to the SMR rollout is welcome, as indeed is today’s announcement on Sizewell C being given the green light. The Opposition believe that nuclear can be a significant contributor to a balanced scorecard alongside gas and renewab

State of Climate and Nature
My Lords, I welcome the opportunity to respond to the Statement made by the Secretary of State in the other place a week ago.
The state of climate and nature is one of the most important areas of policy that we can discuss in both Houses. However, tru
My Lords, this order makes modest changes to the energy company obligation—ECO—scheme, and I was pleased to see the Minister in the other place recognise that ECO4 and the GB Insulation Scheme have been a key part of the effort to upgrade homes across th
My Lords, I thank the Minister for introducing the draft Electricity Capacity (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2025 today.
We have a responsibility to protect future generations, and there is a shared determination across these Benches to confront clim

Grangemouth Oil Refinery Closure: Job Losses
My Lords, the sad reality is that the Grangemouth oil refinery has come to its end of life after 100 years of service. That is due to the transition from oil and gas to renewables. Of course, the loss of 450 jobs is deeply regrettable, and Ineos should g

Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, it is a pleasure to speak to Part 1 of the Bill and specifically to Chapter 2, which relates to electricity infrastructure. The Bill introduces many critical reforms to our planning and grid connection systems, and, if implemented effectively,

Social Energy Tariff
My Lords, as has been pointed out, we have a social tariff. We had one previously, before 2011, but it was abolished in favour of the warm home discount. I welcome any initiative by the Government to increase that to alleviate any suffering, but any talk

Energy Grid Resilience
My Lords, I begin by expressing my sympathy for all those impacted by the recent blackouts in Spain, Portugal and beyond. This blackout should serve as a stark reminder of the consequences when the power grid fails. Prolonged blackouts are devastating. T
I thank the noble Lord for his intervention. However, we are now dealing with a moving landscape and we have an accelerated programme on decarbonisation, which goes beyond what was set previously with the target for 2030. This is critical. This road map
We are saying that we want to make sure that we have consent in the local community and robust oversight, and that the order does not undermine democratic principles. That is what we are trying to do, and we also do not want to disregard the voices of lo
I thank the noble Lord for explaining the details of this statutory instrument. In essence, this order would enable onshore wind projects over 100 megawatts and solar projects over 50 megawatts to be considered under the nationally significant infrastruc

Energy Prices: Energy-intensive Industries
My Lords, the UK has the highest industrial electricity prices in the OECD. We have discussed this many times in your Lordships’ House. Our prices are 45 times more expensive than in the USA and seven times more expensive than in China. Without cheap ene

Climate Change: Progress
My Lords, surely in relation to climate change we must be pragmatic in this area and not dogmatic, so my question to the Minister is simply: why do he and his boss, the Secretary of State for Energy, refuse to listen to their closest advisers? Dr Fatih B

Great British Energy Bill
My Lords, we welcome the Government’s decision to listen to the constructive challenge from this House and improve the Bill by ensuring that Great British Energy supply chains are not associated with modern slavery in China. I give my thanks and gratitud

Artificial Intelligence: Emissions
My Lords, I thank the right reverend Prelate for bringing this up. As he has pointed out, and as has been mentioned in two or three questions already, these AI data centres are extraordinarily energy hungry. We think that, on a site with a perimeter simi

Net-zero Emissions Target: Affordability
My Lords, I thank all noble Lords who have contributed to this very important debate. I pay tribute to the noble Lord, Lord Rees of Easton, for a very elegant maiden speech. Of course, the whole point of debate is to challenge consensus, and I am delight

Net-zero Emissions Target: Affordability
My Lords, how appropriate that this debate should be scheduled on the day after President Trump told the world to grow up, play fair, pay its own way and become self-reliant. The stark reality is that the UK cannot become self-reliant with the most expen

Net-zero Emissions Target: Affordability

Grangemouth Oil Refinery
My Lords, the closure of Grangemouth is indeed a tragedy for the UK, and even more so for Scotland and for the 400 highly skilled jobs that are being lost. Of course, we know that this is what is referred to as the transition as we go from hydrocarbons t

Energy Prices
My Lords, the Minister is always reminding us from the Dispatch Box that our electricity is the most expensive in the OECD. He blames international gas markets for that, but our European neighbours are subject to the same markets and seem to have cheaper
