Carbon Emissions: Buckinghamshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate he has made of the contribution to the UK's 2030 net zero target of (a) Milton Keynes and (b) Buckinghamshire.
Answered by Kerry McCarthy
Central Government does not set net zero targets for local government, however, Government recognises the important role of local places, including Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire, to help realise our national 2050 net zero target. Great British Energy, our new publicly-owned energy company, will support local energy generation by partnering with Mayoral Strategic Authorities, Devolved Governments and local and community energy groups to increase the roll-out of renewable energy projects. Government also funds the Local Net Zero Hubs which support local authorities across England to develop net zero projects and attract commercial investment, including through information and knowledge-sharing.
