The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department plans to take steps to provide incentives to local communities for support for onshore wind projects in their areas.

Communities should benefit from hosting local renewable energy infrastructure and the Government will shortly publish updated community benefits guidance for onshore wind in England. The devolved administrations have their own policies regarding community benefits.
