The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department has made an assessment of the security risks of building the Sunnica Energy Farm on local communities.

Answered by Michael Shanks

We cannot comment on individual investment cases including what assessments were made, but investment into the energy sector is subject to the highest levels of national security scrutiny.

We will continue to work closely with industry to ensure the UK remains one of the most attractive investment destinations in the world.
