Recommendation (the committee's words)
The Government should pursue expansion of GB interconnectors as part of its energy security strategy, ensuring we can trade efficiently with the EU market. It should explore the potential for interconnectors that could help manage seasonal demand and mitigate risks from weather systems that extend across Northern Europe, by connecting further afield with EU Member States, such as Southern European States, as well as the Middle East and North Africa.
