Lords energy inquiry to take evidence from Professor Sir Dieter Helm CBE

On Tuesday 8 March 2022 the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee will be taking evidence from Professor Sir Dieter Helm CBE, University of Oxford and Dan Monzani, Managing Director of Aurora.

These evidence sessions will be streamed live on Parliament TV.

At 3pm the committee will hear evidence from Professor Helm. Dan Monzani will give evidence at 4pm.

Questions the committee is likely to cover in these sessions include:

How should the UK’s energy policy change in response to the crisis in Ukraine?
What effect will Europe’s move away from Russian gas dependency have on security and affordability of supply?
The EU taxonomy includes nuclear and gas as green investments, should these energy sources be considered green as part of the UK’s taxonomy?
Will the UK’s introduction of mandatory financial disclosures be effective?
What role should government or financial regulators play in encouraging investment in energy storage to address the renewable intermittency problem?
Does the UK require more extensive carbon pricing to encourage investment in green energy supply?
