The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he plans to take to ensure that the increase of electricity demand in the next 15 years can be met by domestically produced green power.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Later this year the Government will publish the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, which will set out the path to deliver a clean power system, helping protect billpayers from volatile gas prices and strengthening Britain’s energy security. The Government has also set up Great British Energy, which will own, manage, and operate clean energy projects across the country, generating abundant homegrown electricity.
