Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Katie White)
Happy new year, Mr Speaker. The Department works closely with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. Support for councils includes the local net zero hubs—such as the Greater South East net zero hub, which covers the Eastbourne constituency—and Great British Energy, enabling councils and communities to build a pipeline of local clean energy projects, bringing growth and attracting commercial investment.
