Clean Energy

Question: To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the increasing use of green energy remains a central focus of UK energy policy.

Answer: The commitment to Clean Power by 2030 is a central focus of government policy, with an associated Action Plan outlining how the Government will achieve its clean power mission by rapid deployment of low carbon generation, along with transmission infrastructure. The Spending Review reconfirmed this mission. Great British Energy and Great British Energy – Nuclear will together invest more than £8.3 billion over the parliament in homegrown clean power. Landmark funding of over £500m for hydrogen infrastructure has also been announced. This will help deliver green energy while creating thousands of jobs in industrial regions and the supply chain.
