To complement this amendment, I am also pleased to be supporting amendment 5, which would ensure that developing community energy is a priority of GB Energy. My colleague, the right hon. Member for Aberdeen South (Stephen Flynn), tabled an amendment at Committee stage of the Bill that would have ensured that the revenues generated from all projects based in Scotland would be retained in Scotland. That is a fair principle, which should also be extended to Wales, and is the reason why I have tabled amendment 14. Wales is a net exporter of energy, yet we have some of the highest energy bills in the UK.
