answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2024 answer text <p>Energy policy is devolved in Northern Ireland and is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Executive Department for the Economy. The Department for the Economy (DfE) held a consultation on Design Considerations for its own bespoke Renewables Support Scheme in February 2023 which included seeking views on having a Contracts for Difference scheme in Northern Ireland. Consultation responses were recently published on 9 April 2024. DfE states that having considered the consultation responses, it will design a new Renewable Electricity Support Scheme for Northern Ireland which builds upon the support schemes across Great Britain, Ireland, and Europe. Northern Ireland has a vital role to play in helping the UK reach net zero by 2050.</p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 24/04/2024 13:06:38 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/02/2024 answer text <p>As community energy is a mainly transferred issue, it is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Executive to engage with the community energy sector in Northern Ireland. There is, however, some UK-wide support available to community energy groups – for example, the devolved administrations have access to UK-wide Growth Funding, such as the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and we encourage community energy groups to work closely with local government to support the development of community energy projects within these schemes.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 29/02/2024 13:24:01 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
