Energy Supply: Sark
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to promote energy self sufficiency on Sark.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Sark, a self-governing jurisdiction within the Crown Dependency of Bailiwick of Guernsey, is responsible for its own domestic affairs, including energy policy. The Government recognises the role of local energy initiatives in Sark and the need to improve and modernise their electricity grid. While there have been discussions between Sark and the UK Government regarding their investment needs, as Sark is outside of the UK, there is limited scope for direct support from DESNZ.
