The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department plans to take with local authorities to encourage consumer-led flexibility in the energy market in Northampton South constituency.

Answered by Michael Shanks

This Government supports significant growth in consumer-led flexibility, as set out in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan. In our Action Plan, Government committed to publishing a Flexibility Roadmap in 2025. The Roadmap will set out further detail on how the benefits of clean flexibility can be unlocked for consumers across all parliamentary constituencies in Great Britain, including Northampton South. The government will continue to collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, including with local authorities to support greater uptake of public on-street EV charging.
