21 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736)

How significantly could bills be lowered if the NESO reduced skip rates?

21 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736)

Alastair talked about it in terms of being a resource and a problem. Are there drawbacks to having more electric vehicles with bi-directional charging plugged into the grid? If so, what are those drawbacks?

21 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736)

I want to talk about Drax and biomethane or biogas. There has been a lot of criticism of the carbon negative claims made by Drax, and some analysts have predicted that the revamp of the site could be one of the most expensive energy projects in the world. If I can start with you, Dr Bukhsh, why do you think the Governm

How economically competitive would BECCS be against abated methane gas in generating electricity?

21 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736)

The sustainability of imported biomass is controversial. Is it more sustainable in the broader sense than abated methane gas?

21 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736)

Coming back to Alastair, to what extent can Elexon, as a market facilitator, drive efficiencies that have a significant impact on the cost of electricity? In particular, DESNZ, Ofgem, the NESO and the Flexibility Commission all have a role in delivering the commitments set out in the clean flexibility road map. Does El

21 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736)

Can I start with Alastair for this one? What scope is left to remove market access barriers to flexibility?

21 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736)

In terms of equity, are you saying only a small proportion of the population have it, so it is unreasonable to spend public money because it only benefits what are likely to be disproportionately affluent parts of the population? Is that the point you are making?

21 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736)

Given we have the new mileage charge coming, but we also have grants to encourage electric vehicles, do you think the Government are sending mixed signals on EV adoption? Does that have consequences for flexibility?

35
21 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736)

You say you are quite relaxed about EVs. Do you see heat pumps and the heat storage that you were talking about earlier as far more important?

21 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736)

It was said earlier that we need to focus on the big contributors to flexibility, with EVs being one of them. At the moment, is there a noticeable impact of EVs on demand flexibility and reducing peak demand and system costs?
