The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero,what progress he has made on achieving clean power by 2030.

Answered by Ed Miliband

Since the election, we have turbocharged progress towards a clean power system, changing the planning rules, reforming the grid, lifting the onshore wind ban and consenting 3 times more solar power in 10 months than the last government did in 14 years.

Just this month we approved the Rampion offshore wind farm delivering power to 1.3 million homes as well as creating thousands of jobs.

Our mission is all about jobs, growth and energy security, and that’s what we’re delivering.
