Energy Supply: Research
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of trends in the level of funding for energy security research and development on the economy.
Answered by Chris McDonald
The Government announced record public R&D investment of £86 billion over the four years to 2030 and our Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan sets out the UK’s major growth opportunities from the energy transition. This includes £2.5bn investment in fusion research and commercialisation creating thousands of jobs and developing a UK supply chain.
