Smart charging has the potential to reduce the demands from electric vehicles by ensuring their charging can flex to meet grid needs.

Over 2,000 organisations from across the country responded to the consultation, including a wide range of businesses, public sector organisations and private individuals.</p><p> </p><p>The White Paper set out the government’s approach to working with places to maximise the benefits of the Industrial Strategy, based on the belief that the people best placed to drive forward local economies are those who live, work and do business in them. It included a variety of new opportunities for Local Enterprise Partnerships to drive local economic growth. I am sure that GFirst, the LEP for Gloucestershire, will be keen to build on the area’s cyber security strength with Cheltenham home to GCHQ.</p><p>The White Paper also included proposals to work with local leaders to develop Local Industrial Strategies, which will establish new ways of working between national leaders in both the public and private sectors, harnessing their local insights to develop clear, long-term strategies for future growth. Universities, colleges and other local institutions will be key in this process.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 08/01/2018 16:20:34 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
