Mingyang Smart Energy: Wind Power
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what security assessment his Department has conducted on the potential risks associated with Mingyang Smart Energy supplying turbines for the Green Volt North Sea wind farm.
Answered by Maria Eagle
Defence works in close collaboration with other Departments as part of the Government’s process to assess and mitigate national security risks to UK interests at home and abroad.
It would be inappropriate to comment on individual cases, but any investment in the energy sector or other parts of our Critical National Infrastructure is subject to the highest levels of scrutiny.
The Government continues to welcome investment, but we will not hesitate to protect national security wherever we identify specific areas of concern.
