Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to support the British Virgin Islands to achieve its renewable energy targets.

The British Virgin Islands and other British Overseas Territories have delegated responsibility for their energy systems. The UK Government, however, has supported renewable energy projects through the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) administered by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. In 2021/22, the CSSF provided over £300,000 for renewable energy projects in the British Virgin Islands, including a £115,000 project to install solar panels on a clinic and a school.
