Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what his most recent estimate is of the level of investment in renewable electricity generation in the UK in (a) 2017, (b) 2018 and (c) 2019.

The National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline [1] sets out projected levels of investment in renewable electricity generation for the UK and for Scotland.

It provides a strategic overview of the level of public and private infrastructure investment planned to 2021 and beyond though in a number of sectors such as energy, ports and waste, the decision to go ahead with individual projects will be determined by the market.
