Clean Energy: East of England
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the report by the East of England APPG and Local Government East entitled, Opportunity East: One Year On, published in November 2025, what assessment he has made of the potential contribution of East of England to clean energy generation.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Government recognises the East of England’s contribution to clean energy generation and the Clean Power 2030 mission. It is the home of Sizewell C. The region has also secured the highest offshore wind capacity allocation in AR7, with just over 6GW, driven by the large-scale Dogger Bank South and Norfolk Vanguard developments, building on an existing 3.7GW of offshore wind capacity.
