Community Energy: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the £9.3 million community energy funding for devolved governments announced on 21 March 2025 is funding from GB Energy.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Great British Energy is committed to working with the Devolved Governments to help enhance community energy across the UK, whilst respecting the devolution settlements. £9.3 million is being provided to the devolved governments to support clean energy projects and may be combined with existing or new funding from the three governments to support specific clean energy projects in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This funding is part of the £100m announced in October 2024 to kick-start GBE’s work investing in clean energy project development.
