The Government’s Energy Bill will be voted on as ministers return from their summer recess.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is reportedly set to overturn his proposed ban on wind farms
Mr Sunak has fought off a rebellion from within his party as ministers are said to be discussing ways to finalise the details on the amendment, particularly on how fast the Government could legally scrap the ban. His amendment requires the Government to show developers how they can demonstrate that local communities support their plans, and how they can provide financial benefits to those communities.
“This amendment will help to deliver on the Government’s own promise to unlock investment in one of the cheapest forms of energy. Ultimately this will bring down household bills and improve our energy security.”
