The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to increase the production of domestic clean power in supporting energy security.

Answered by Ed Miliband

We are accelerating investment in homegrown clean power to boost energy security and cut exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets. In response to this crisis, we’re bringing forward the next renewables auction to July, introducing low‑cost “plug‑in solar” for households, and we will implement the Fingleton Review to speed up delivery of critical zero carbon infrastructure.
