Renewable Energy: Capital Investment

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking with the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero to increase investment in renewable infrastructure projects.

Answered by James Murray

The Prime Minister’s Plan for Change sets out our ambitious but achievable target of Clean Power by 2030.

The Clean Power Action Plan demonstrates the significant investment requirements to reach this target, including in renewable infrastructure, and actions we will take to facilitate this.

We have already taken action to remove the de-facto ban on onshore wind in England, approved major solar projects, and delivered a record-breaking renewables auction.
