Mingyang Smart Energy: Wind Power

Asked by Harriet CrossConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 4 September 2025UIN 70209

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what his Department's planned timetable is for (a) making and (b) announcing its decision on whether Mingyang Smart Energy will be permitted to supply turbines for (i) Green Volt and (ii) other wind projects.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The suppliers that offshore wind projects use are a commercial decision for the company involved. As an open economy, we welcome foreign trade and investment, including from China, where it supports growth and jobs in the UK, meets our stringent legal and regulatory requirements, and does not compromise our national security.
