The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps Great British Energy plans to take to support projects in Lancashire.

Answered by Michael Shanks

On 21 March 2025, the government announced £180 million of funding for rooftop solar panels for schools and hospitals delivered through Great British Energy (GBE). Five NHS trusts within Lancashire will be fitted with solar panels under this scheme. Successful schools will be announced in due course.

GBE will strategically develop, invest in, and own clean energy projects across the UK. It will also create thousands of good jobs and build supply chains in every region of the UK through the projects that it supports.
