Community Energy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential contribution of community-owned renewable energy to energy security.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Community owned renewable energy will strengthen our energy security by increasing local clean power, reducing exposure to fossil fuel markets and improving the resilience of our energy system.
Government is driving a major expansion of community-owned energy, backed by the Local Power Plan and delivered in partnership with GBE. By 2030, GBE will support over 1,000 local and community energy projects.
