Recommendation
We are disappointed to observe that only two electrification projects are expected to be commissioned by 2027. During the development phase of a new project the NSTA approves Concept Select and Field Development Plans. We recommend that the regulator uses its powers at this stage of the project assessment to insist on the electrification for all new projects due to be licenced in the 33rd licensing round. (Paragraph 217) 88 Accelerating the transition from fossil fuels and securing energy supplies
