Select committee inquiry
A European Supergrid
Closed
What the inquiry looked at
“The inquiry will investigate the potential for building a European Supergrid. On 3 December 2010 the UK signed a Memorandum of Understanding with nine other European states, which set out a schedule for the development of an offshore electricity transmission grid with a network of North and Irish Sea sub-sea cables. Consideration of a "supergrid" comes as the UK is expected to electrify and decarbonise its economy.
