Bishop of Norwich asks about renewable energy

The Bishop of Norwich received the following written answer on 18th June 2026:

The Lord Bishop of Norwich asked His Majesty’s Government what plans they have to support early pipeline renewable energy generation projects to move into construction and operation.

Lord Whitehead (Lab, DENZ): The Government is supporting early-pipeline renewable projects by pulling every lever to move them into construction and operation faster. The Government is taking multiple actions to speed up the planning process and grid connections, while providing greater investor certainty through regular Contracts for Difference auctions and measures to strengthen supply chains, so projects can be delivered swiftly.
