The UK Parliament is conducting an inquiry into how the UK can maintain secure

Northstar is a UK infrastructure and consumer services group potentially exposed to electricity security, affordability, network resilience and the regulatory framework for low-carbon investment. The inquiry could influence future energy policy and offers an opportunity to support practical transition measures that protect investment and affordability. Recommended actions: 1. Record the inquiry against the Net Zero & Energy issue and monitor its evidence timetable and eventual report. 2. Prepare an internal evidence brief covering Northstar’s exposure to electricity reliability, price volatility, demand management, backup capacity and infrastructure planning. 3. Map relevant operational and investment examples that could support evidence on maintaining affordability and resilience during low-renewables periods. 4. Draft potential submission themes, including practical system flexibility, predictable regulation and avoiding measures that add delivery or consumer costs. 5. Return for approval before any written evidence is submitted or external engagement is undertaken.
