Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made on the expansion of renewable energy generation.
We are delivering on our ambitious plan to move our electricity system to clean power that we control – breaking our dependence on imported fossil fuels and protecting everyone from future price spikes. For example, we have lifted the de facto onshore wind ban, launched Great British Energy, published our Solar Roadmap and Clean Flexibility Roadmap, and delivered the most successful renewables auction in history with AR7 adding a record-breaking 8.4 gigawatts of offshore wind. More recently, we announced that ‘plug-in’ solar panels are available in shops, offering households a chance to cut their bills.
