Energy Security and Net Zero Committee

The Energy Security and Net Zero Committee scrutinises government policy and delivery on energy security, decarbonisation, and the transition to net zero across the UK energy sector. It operates as a Commons select committee and regularly takes oral evidence from ministers, officials, and industry experts. The committee's recent work has focused heavily on the government's nuclear roadmap, examining both the regulatory framework and the roles of the taskforce and GB Energy in driving forward nuclear development. It has also inquired into energy resilience in the context of the Iran crisis and its implications for UK energy supplies. The committee additionally scrutinised energy pricing and security issues, hearing from witnesses including those with expertise in energy markets. Its sessions have combined structured investigations into major policy areas with broader oral evidence sessions designed to monitor implementation across the energy sector.
