To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of implementing a zonal pricing mechanism via the review of electricity market arrangements.

Asked by:
Ben Obese-Jecty (Conservative)

Through the Review of Electricity Market Arrangements, we are exploring several ways to reduce energy bills by making more efficient use of the energy infrastructure we are building.

The Government is continuing to assess the benefits and costs of zonal pricing alongside other options for reform within our current national pricing arrangements. We are considering these options carefully and will provide more information in due course.
