Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will ask local authorities to identify opportunities for developing (a) onshore wind, (b) solar energy, (c) ground source heating and (d) other sustainable energy sources in their area.

Local authorities have a lot of flexibility and discretion in how they take action, as they have very varied local opportunities, needs, and circumstances.

The Net Zero Strategy sets out the UK's commitment to fund Local Net Zero Hubs across England which support local authorities to develop net zero projects and attract commercial investment.
