To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect the fundamental review of the GB Security and Quality of Supply Standards for the planning and operation of the electricity transmission system to be completed and its proposals to be published. [HL2494]

The fundamental review of the GB Security and Quality of Supply Standard is a matter for National Grid in partnership with industry. I understand that they are seeking to prioritise the elements of the review, with the first outputs to appear this summer, which will among other things address the optimum transmission capacity to support wind generation.
