Renewable Energy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to develop the UK’s renewable energy sector in response to the current international oil crisis.
Answered by Michael Shanks
We are accelerating investment in homegrown clean power to boost energy security and cut exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets. We are bringing forward the next renewables auction to July, introducing low cost ‘plug-in solar’ for households, and applying the lessons of the Fingleton Review to speed up delivery of critical infrastructure, including renewables.
