Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether the provisions of the EU Renewable Energy Directive II recast will be transposed into UK law in the event that the UK leaves the EU next March.

Leaving the EU will not affect the UK's commitment to domestic and international efforts to tackle climate change. Renewable technologies now form a very significant part of the UK’s energy mix and will continue to do so into the future. Renewable energy will have a key role to play in delivering our ambitious Clean Growth Strategy. The UK will consider transposition of the Renewable Energy Directive II recast as part of the wider EU Exit negotiations on our future energy partnership.
