The House of Lords has scrutinised the new bill on GB Energy and sent it back to the Commons without any amendments. This is good news because it means that GB Energy can proceed fast. Several amendments were debated but none mentioned hydrogen, which is clearly not a problem. The main question was on the impact of offshore wind and tidal installations that could affect oil and gas. Associated with this was the security issue as rogue countries could interfere. Marine space and climate-change were related factors. As the bill went through, only one remaining Report Stage is at hand, to be followed by Royal Assent soon.
too long.
