To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has had recent discussions with community groups on the implementation of the Local Power Plan.

My Department and Great British Energy have engaged extensively with the community energy sector in developing the Local Power Plan.

I will shortly be making a statement to this House about the Local Power Plan which represents an unprecedented £1bn investment in community energy across our country.
