PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(10 October 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the United States' Department of Energy's press release entitled Energy Department returns $13 billion in unobligated wasteful spending to American taxpayers, published on 24 September 2025, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of that announcement on international investment confidence in UK renewable energy developments.

Asked by:
Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat)

Government remains confident in the UK’s ability to attract international investment in the clean energy mission. We will achieve this by driving investment certainty, delivering targeted catalytic public investment, and breaking down barriers to investment.

Since July 2024, over £50 billion of private investment has been announced into the UK’s clean energy industries.
