| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “I think one of you said that the wholesale gas price is very dependent on the LNG price. Presumably, it does make a significant difference to the cost of energy in Great Britain whether the gas comes from LNG, pipeline imports, domestic offshore or shale, or does it not because LNG is going to drive the price regardles…” | 58 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “If I could start with Tom, please. Michael Grubb said that if gas prices go way down, bills will get quite a lot cheaper. Although what we are seeing at the moment is wholesale gas prices are lower and less volatile than they were earlier, but consumers are not seeing a significant reduction in the price cap. Why is th…” | 60 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Is that something you can only identify after the fact?” | 10 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “How do you identify bad energy trading in this context?” | 10 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “How would you do that?” | 5 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “We cannot just immediately turn it off?” | 7 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Okay. Thank you. If I could turn to Michael Grubb then. You have already talked about some of the ways we could change—if gas is going to stay in our generating mix for some time, which is the assumption, You have already talked about some of the ways its economics might be regulated so that bills can come down. Do you…” | 78 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “If you were to, for example, have new pipelines and significantly increase the proportion of pipeline imports or you were looking at domestic offshore or shale supplies or any of those things it would not make any difference to this question. Would the LNG price still be the driver?” | 49 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “It feels to me that whatever the situation is, changing the mix might have a very small effect because we are one small part of the market on worldwide gas price, but LNG is always going to be the driver of the price.” | 43 |

| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Are there any other support mechanisms you are aware of in other major European power markets that we could be learning from?” | 22 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Do you think the Government could be doing more to enable the private sector’s use of PPAs? Potentially then you could free up more of the AR budget for less mature technologies.” | 32 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “That could apply, regardless of whether you have PPAs or not. That is generally making it easier to develop renewables. Is there anything specifically to do with PPAs in terms of supporting more use of those in the private sector?” | 40 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Not necessarily public sector facilities? You do not see that as—” | 11 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Is that something that is done elsewhere? I am wondering if we can learn any lessons.” | 16 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “If we were to build storage instead, the LNG price would still matter but we would have more control over when we were buying it.” | 25 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Adam or Tom, did you have anything?” | 7 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Net Zero Transition: Consumer-led Flexibility “I absolutely agree, and I am coming to those points. The Government have set out a clean flexibility road map, and E.ON has found that 84% of people want more control over energy, so what is the catch? It might be said that this is all well and good for affluent consumers, who can afford the smart technology—the electr…” energycost-of-livingeconomy-jobs | 767 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Net Zero Transition: Consumer-led Flexibility “I beg to move, That this House has considered consumer-led flexibility for a just transition. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Vickers. We have a problem in this country—one that is hitting all our constituents in the pocket, while wasting electricity and pushing up carbon emissions. At the root of th…” energycost-of-livingeconomy-jobs | 803 |
