the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission

Answer from Hansard

The Minister for Energy (Michael Shanks)

Through Great British Energy’s local power plan, we are rolling out the biggest expansion of community energy for decades. We are supporting projects with funding through the community fund, and Great British Energy will also support communities to roll out small and medium-scale renewable energy projects by providing commercial, technical and project planning assistance. That will increase its capacity to build a pipeline of successful projects owned by local communities.
