Renewable Energy: Infrastructure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to ensure that UK renewable energy infrastructure is not widely owned by companies owned by foreign governments.
Answered by Michael Shanks
As an open economy, we welcome foreign trade and investment where it supports growth and jobs in the UK and meets our legal and regulatory requirements. We work closely with industry to build secure supply chains and back UK businesses. The government has also established Great British Energy to drive forward greater investment in clean, home-grown energy production and to build supply chains across the UK. Great British Energy will work with DESNZ, The Crown Estate and the National Wealth Fund to support domestic clean energy supply chains.
