Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat), on Thursday, 19 March 2026, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 17 members in total.
Coniston Hydro
That this House celebrates the pioneering work of small‑scale hydropower schemes such as Coniston Hydro; recognises that current market arrangements fail to value local renewable generation fairly; welcomes the forthcoming Local Power Plan and its alignment with local energy‑matching models; notes the role of Balancing and Settlement Code modification P441 in enabling transparent local trading; and further recognises that these reforms would allow households and schools to buy power directly from local, renewable sources and supporting local businesses in the process; and urges the Government to support urgent approval of P441 to ensure fair routes to market and protect vital community energy assets.
