Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of increasing funding for renewable energy projects in Mid Bedfordshire constituency.

The Government has provided significant additional funding for renewable energy projects this autumn. Provisions include support via the next Contracts for Difference Allocation Round, funding for manufacturing for Windfarms and Networks and investment tax measures.

Grant funding for renewable innovation or community-based renewable schemes is open for both local authorities and private investors to bid on.

The Government encourages projects in Mid Bedfordshire to apply for these schemes as relevant to their proposals.
