Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department is taking steps to help ensure a coordinated approach to the delivery of local area energy plans.
This question was answered on 4th April 2023
The Government is considering the role of local-level energy planning in delivering Net Zero. We need to be clear on the value of local-level energy planning before taking decisions on how to coordinate delivery. This includes considering local-level energy planning in the context of potential future changes to the energy system, such as Ofgem's regional energy system planning proposals.
