The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to build growth in community energy in Sheffield Central constituency.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Community energy will play an essential role in meeting our mission for clean power by 2030, and Government recognises the important role community groups, including those in Sheffield play. Great British Energy will provide support to deliver the Local Power Plan, putting local authorities and communities at the heart of restructuring our energy economy. The Local Power Plan will help crowd‑in investment while ensuring benefits flow directly back into local communities.
