Wind Power: China

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 8 September 2026UIN 21024

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 10 July 2026 to Question 15239 on wind power, whether there are any UK wind farms which are (a) indirectly owned by Chinese bodies through subsidiary companies and (b) directly owned by Chinese bodies.

Answered by Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

The vast majority of UK wind farms have no direct ownership from China.

We work very closely with industry and across government to maintain a detailed picture of foreign involvement in energy infrastructure.

We continue to take a consistent, long-term and strategic approach to managing relations with China and will co-operate where we can, and challenge where we must.
