Ministry of Defence: Community Energy

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department are taking to support community energy projects on his Department's land.

Answer

The Ministry of Defence recognises the potential role that community energy projects can play in supporting estate decarbonisation and energy resilience. We are exploring opportunities for Defence to engage with such schemes as part of our wider work on energy generation and supply across the Defence estate.

The Department also works closely with other Government Departments and public sector partners, including through cross-Government forums on public estate decarbonisation and local energy planning, to understand opportunities and address barriers to future collaboration with community energy projects.
