Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the level of global confidence in the UK energy market; and what steps, if any, they are taking to improve this.
According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, UK energy transition investment reached a record £65 billion in 2025, with investment in low-carbon sectors accounting for 2% of GDP - the second highest share in the G7. This reflects strong investor confidence in the UK’s clean energy transition and the significant opportunities it presents. The Government is reinforcing this momentum through the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan and the Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan, which provide long-term policy certainty, alongside targeted public investment and reforms to planning, grid connections and Contracts for Difference that are helping to unlock further private investment in clean energy infrastructure.
