Mr. Morris moves for a Bill to require the Secretary of State to conduct a review of the contribution of community energy to the Government’s Clean Power 2030 mission, highlighting the importance of local engagement and ownership in achieving net zero emissions by 2030.
Mr. Morris emphasises that community energy offers a crucial opportunity for agency and empowerment within communities to develop practical and long-term energy solutions, citing local examples such as the work of Humshaugh Net Zero and other initiatives in Prudhoe and Stocksfield. He also notes the economic benefits of community-owned power projects.
