Clean Energy: Housing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help increase the production of domestic clean power.

Answer

Since we published the Clean Power Action Plan in December 2024, we are reforming the electricity market through our REMA decision on national pricing, delivered the most successful renewables auction in history with AR7 adding a record-breaking 8.4 gigawatts of offshore wind, and published our Solar Roadmap and Clean Flexibility Roadmap to scale deployment across the system.

We have also passed the Planning and Infrastructure Act, updated National Policy Statements, and reformed the grid queue to free up connections for the projects we need by 2030.
