Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 March 2026

Debate

Renewables Obligation (Amendment) Order 2026

Contribution

The Government’s approach is a balanced one. It seeks to reduce cost pressures on households and businesses, while continuing to provide a stable and predictable environment for long term investment in the UK’s renewable energy sector. As we all recognise, the world around us is becoming increasingly unstable—which is rather an understatement. The only sustainable way to shield households and the wider UK economy from global energy shocks is to accelerate our transition to clean, homegrown energy. That requires not only the deployment of new renewable capacity but ensuring every part of our existing system is as fair, efficient and affordable as possible.
