Through the Local Power Plan, Great British Energy will invest up to £1 billion to support at least 1,000 local and community energy projects across the country by 2030.

Funding for the Plan will be administered by Great British Energy. It will not be delivered through the Internal Markets Act.

GBE will work with the devolved governments to complement existing support and identify new opportunities for collaboration.
