Energy Security secretary to face MPs question on UK’s clean energy goals

Oral evidence 1.30pm Wednesday 11 February

On Wednesday 11 February the Secretary of State at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero will face Committee questions on the UK's twin goals of delivering clean, secure energy by 2030, and bringing energy bills down.

The Secretary of State makes a bi-annual appearance at the select committee for a broad-ranging session that can take in any aspect of the Department's work.

The Committee is likely to explore:

• Government action to bring down energy bills
• The long-awaited Warm Homes Plan, and lessons from the failure of previous Government home retrofit schemes
• The Government's commitment to carbon capture technology
• Public trust and consent in the delivery of the energy transition
• Delivery of the Clean Energy Jobs Plan and the skills needed nationwide to meet the UK's energy goals
• Progress towards reaching 8GW of community energy generation by 2030
• The Government's “map” of nuclear energy across the country: how much, where, and by when
• The future of the UK's oil and gas sector

On Wednesday 11 February at the earlier start time of 130pm: 

• Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP, Secretary of State at Department for Energy Security and Net Zero 

• Clive Maxwell CB CBE, Interim Permanent Secretary at Department for Energy Security and Net Zero
