The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to encourage Great British Energy to consult with local communities on the development of renewable energy projects.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Great British Energy will support the roll out of small and medium-scale renewable energy projects, using established technologies, to develop up to 8 GW of cleaner power. To ensure Great British Energy is set up to deliver its Local function effectively, my officials will continue to engage with local and community groups as GBE continues to be developed and implemented.
