💥The Government has committed to the reforms that we have been calling for.
Thank you @michaelshanksmp.co.uk, Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero, for stating in the House of Commons this week that the Government will establish local supply rights for community energy groups.
Thank you Jess Brown Fuller MP, for standing up in the House of Commons and asking the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband, if he agrees that the right to local supply would enable community energy groups to prosper.

In response, Ed Miliband said, “Great British Energy is going to partner with local communities to deliver community energy up and down the country,” ... “I want to assure her that we are going through the different barriers in granular, nerdy detail to see how we can break them down.”
Power for People will have a stall at the first Tunbridge Wells Climate and Nature Fair on Saturday 13th September.
