| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Do you have a proposal for what we should do as an alternative to that outcome?” | 16 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Your solution for reducing this is to take gas out of the system?” | 13 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “This goes back to my point about CfDs. Are we risking locking in high electricity costs which will create a disincentive for the decarbonisation that we are looking for?” | 29 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “These are the consequences of policy changes; if you change your policy, you electrify the heat and you electrify EVs you get electricity demand go up. The CCC, Mission Control, Clean Power 2030 Plan, everything accepts that fundamentally if we are going to decarbonise our system electricity demand will go up.” | 51 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Adam?” | 1 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “We also know with high capital costs and so forth, and with the auction coming up, there is a risk that we end up locking in high costs for new investment—” | 31 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “This is on CfDs, and we heard a little bit from the previous panel about once ROs run out and so forth, and how things will keep running. With the CfD now fixing prices for up to 20 years are we at risk of locking in higher costs for consumers through to 2045?” | 53 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Okay. When you are talking about the investment cost—and it is the chunk of money that is on your bill to reflect the cost of investment—how different would that be from basically a big chunk of money to make the system work? It would still feel like a big chunk of money that you spend.” | 55 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Forgive me, Professor, I know I do not know very much about this in comparison to you, but when I look at my energy bill and when we have been talking about network costs and policy costs and people’s usage, that is how it feels. It feels like I am paying that amount of money. If I spend any time thinking about it at a…” | 124 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “People pay twice?” | 3 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Because of its centralising instincts?” | 5 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Is this too counter to the way we currently run our system for it to be a natural step in part of our transition?” | 24 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “No, but other energy costs would be cheaper over time and possibly more competitive with renewables to be able to set that price.” | 23 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “It will go up radically because we will electrify the system and particularly increase the need for electrification of heat and EVs.” | 22 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Ana, what do you think about this?” | 7 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “I understand that, but we are not the only ones experiencing this challenge. I am probing a little bit on understanding whether anything similar has been explored or is being explored, is being developed, in similar kinds of energy markets to ours.” | 42 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “There is not another country or market that does this?” | 10 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Ana, I am sure you have some views on this.” | 10 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “So the past is another country?” | 6 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Is there any comparable market to ours where this has already been tried?” | 13 |
